DJ Rasta Root - The Rest of Dilla Vol. 1 (Mixtape)

If you're ever in ATL on the second Friday of the month, check out MJQ Concourse for Face/Off Fridays with DJ Rasta Root. Guaranteed satisfaction.

Root[zilla] explains the reason for his J Dilla tribute:

"I didn't want to do a Dilla mix just because he had passed away. I always seem to include a Slum Village or Dilla produced track in my dj sets, so I felt it was time to put all my favorite tracks on one disc that I would listen to. It just so happens that I am able to share that with the world...I feel like my strength is mixing and blending, so that's what you will get...one seamless blend from start to finish...no gimmicks, no talking...just DILLA."

DJ Lissa Monet Presents: Andreena Mill - Ready To Fly (Mixtape)

I've never heard of Toronto R&B singer, Andreena Mill, but her mixtape with DJ Lissa Monet has me very interested. The first half of the mix is Mill singing over hip hop tracks, while the latter part is more R&B heavy. Andreena has been bubbling on the Canadian underground for a while and is preparing to release her debut album Street Theatre.

Charlie Smarts [Kooley High] - F'Alex (Free Album)

I first heard the North Carolina crew Kooley High on their mixtape, Kooley Is High, hosted by K-Salaam. Dope.

Charlie Smarts of Kooley High is the first of the three emcees that make up the NC collective to put out a solo project. This joint is the first release in the "Kool Summer" of 2009. F'Alex will be followed by Tab One's Tabloids and Rapsody's Return of The B-Girl.

About the album:

F'Alex is the coming out party for Charlie Smarts, although amazing together Charlie (whose real name is "Alex Thompson") shows that the emcees of Kooley High can shine just as bright when doing their own thing. F'Alex is a fun, upbeat, yet introspective album that is a journey through love & relationships both sexual and otherwise through Charlie's eyes. The title F'Alex which stands for "F*&%k Alex" is a play on words in that it represents the sexual "phallic" and also an allusion to his experince in the rap game due to the fact that people either want to fuck with Alex or they say "Fuck Alex!".
