download, mixtape / Comments Off

Where Da Sidewalk EndsJay Who? Is what you’ll say, but after listening it will be more like “WTF did he just say?!” Jay Who is making beats, stepping up to the mic, and in a big way. He’s letting it hang out and don’t care who hears him. On top of that Jay Who is a name dropper on “The Name Drop,” but dropping some serious issues on “Anymore.” The beats are tight and the lyrics are a throw back to fun hip hop. Check it out Download it here. BIG thanks to Ill Vibes for the post.

Don’t Call it a Mixtape!

album, mixtape / Comments Off

outasight_coverWhen you hit play the first thing they tell you is, “This is not a mixtape, this is a prequel to the album.” I thought they were crazy, until i heard it. I would call “From There to Here” a complete album. It’s very well put together and has that laid back hip hop feel. The joint “Radio” took me back, especially when he calls out “Award Tour” by A Tribe Called Quest. Get it while you still can. Download the “album” here, or check out Outasight’s Mypace page. BIG thanks to 2DopeBoys for posting it.
