[Mixtape] M-Phatik & Illegal Promo w. J-LOVE Presents "ON THE VERGE"

Observant readers should be aware that you already have been warned of this monster a few times, and now it's here; what is most likely the hottest mixtape of the year! M-Phatik Sounds & Illegal Promo presents "On The Verge", mixed and hosted by the seasoned DJ veteran that is J-Love. Featuring 31 tracks, the tape features a large host of the absolute best underground rappers on the scene right now. If you think that hip-hop is dead in 2012, with the possible exception of the already well established lyricists who's still putting out hot shit, prepare to get your mind completely changed about that (together with the just released "Formula=99" by Soundsci). "On the Verge" is chock full of true school esthetics, gritty, analog sounding sample based HIP-HOP beats, crazy turntable work, and headnod material. In other words, to sleep on this would be a big disfavor to yourself.

Artists featured on the tape include Super N.E.S., Rasheed Chappell, Rashad & Confidence, Smif-N-Wessun, J-Quest, Tragic Allies, Relentless, The Audible Doctor, Chino XL, J-Love, ASN, G.Dot & Born, Edo G, Ace & Hustle, Price Stylez, J-Love, Bambinoo, Crucial, T-Max, Tony Moreaue, Red Eye, Singapore Kane, Born Unique, Agallah, Hell Razah and Tokyo Cigar as Heavenly Cartel, and many more. And we haven't even got to the producers yet, so here goes... The main lacers are Tokyo Cigar, Confidence, Nick Wiz, Purpose, M-Credible and Cyrus The Great, but additional contributed bangers comes courtesy of the great ThoroTracks, Tha Audible Doctor, P-Solid Connection, DJ Grazzhoppa, The Breaks, Crucial G and Cuzzo Sosay. 31 tracks, including both slamming posse cuts and outstanding solo tracks, all expertly mixed and cut up by J-Love with virtually no DJ shouts for those of y'all who strongly dislikes that. "On The Verge" is basically a 90 minutes smorgasbord of gripping, authentic hip-hop of today's illest up-and-coming US rappers and producers - many of who might become the legends of tomorrow - mixed with a few cameos from some of the already well-established greats for good measure.

But don't take my word for it, the mixtape is totally free and if you like the content of this site, I can guarantee you will love this as much as me. Check out the back cover with tracklist and producers below, if you can't get a full size even when you click on it, try this instead. Much props to everybody involved for making this incredible project happen, it will make a lot of haters shut up about the state of hip-hop in 2012. There's only one rule though once you hit that play button... TURN IT THE FUCK UP!!!!

 

M-PHATIK & ILLEGAL PROMO's "ON THE VERGE"

Super N.E.S. - "Sole Collector (Love His Kicks)"

Super N.E.S. is without a doubt one of the most interesting debut artist of the yesr. The NY emcee got a love for that true school sound we all love and cherish, and I have a feeling his mixtape will be one of the best of year. Put together  by DJ Grazzhopa and A&R Mal Moe, the tape will feature a mix of N.E.S. going in on obscure underground classics, but maily the original production will be handled by the likes of Nick Wiz, Da Beattminerz (work in progress), Purpose of Tragic Allies, Confidence, Tokyo Cigar, The Autible Doctor and of course DJ Grazzhoppa himself and many more. The mixtape will be presented by The Lost Tapes and We Goin In. In case you missed the first single, don't sleep on the impeccable Nick Wiz produced "Introducing N.E.S.".

As a warm-up to the tape, a non mixtape cut called "Sole Collector (Love His Kicks)" will appear on the Cormega hosted "Digital Dynasty Tenty" mixtape which is out soon, so stay tuned for that cuz you can count on it being available on The Lost Tapes ASAP.

SUPER N.E.S. - "SOLE COLLECTOR"

Super N.E.S. & Nick Wiz

"Introducing N.E.S." is the heavily impressive introduction to rhyme slinger Super N.E.S. The knocking track is produced by none other than legendary underground producer Nick Wiz (Rakim, Cella Dwellaz, Mad Skillz) who still obviously knows how to hook up a damn near perfect banger. This joint is the first single from the upcoming "On The Verge", hosted and mixed by J-Love and presented by MPhatik Soundz and Illegal-Promo. Keep your eyes and ears open for that one as it will be premiered right here @ The Lost Tapes and a few other selected sites repping that underground street hop. The video is directed by Re-Surch and the homie Mal Moe.
