The Hood Internet - The Mixtape Volume 9

The Hood Internet is a Chicago-based DJ duo. They do mashups, generally rap/R&B vocals over snyth/indie-pop or electronic beats. They just released their 9th mixtape and it's got all sort of heaters and bangers on it. You've got Dr. Dre over Dillon Francis, Rae Sremmurd over Caribou, all kinds of crazy shit. They've even got Kendrick Lamar over Taylor Swift - "Backseat freestyle" over "Shake It Off". You can DL the full stream or a zip with the individual tracks over on their website.

The Hood Internet - The XX Gon' Give It To Ya (DMX vs The XX) [Mashup]

There's not a lot to say except DMX, years ago, should have enlisted The XX to produce his comeback album. They capture the dark, sparse instrumentation the dark man x was best known for. Check The Hood Internet for more mashups like this.

The Top One Percenters Mixtape Volume 20

It's been a minute since I created the last Top One Percenters mixtape. But it hasn't been for lack of trying. I'm trying to not do the whole "illegal uploading of music" thing so I tried to make the mixtape in Spotify. Well, the whole thing about about Spotify is that they don't really have remixes. I went to Souncloud to find the remixes and they didn't have a lot of non-dance stuff. So I'm left with a combo of both — YouTube. 

Volume 20 is the most dance centric mixtape I've done this far and it's really reflecting the type of music I've been listening to for the past year plus. There just hasn't been enough good rap music for a while. But maybe Kendrick will change that. Either way, check out Florrie, Anna Lunoe, Ladyhawke, DJ Fresh, Years & Years, and more in the Top One Percenters Mixtape Volume 20. Peep the YouTube playlist after the jump.

The Long Blondes - Century

The Long Blondes were a five piece indie-rock/pop band from the UK. They released two album in the mid-2000s before calling it quits after one of the members had a stroke that more or less ended their musical career. The above single, "Century", was remixed by The Hood Internet and feautures Three 6 Mafia.

Song of the Day: The Hood Internet - I Don't Fuck With Classics (Big Sean vs The Knocks) [Mashup]

For those who don't know, The Hood Internet are a Chicago-based DJ group who rose to prominence (at least as far as I know) making dope ass mashups. The mashups generally feature rap acapellas over indie-pop/dance music tracks, so all in all they flow really well and are reminiscent of MTV pop music when they first started throwing rappers on everything.

They're most recent track, which dropped a few days ago, is "I Don't Fuck With Classics", a mashup of Big Sean's "IDFWU" and The Knock's "Classics". Check it out below and download here. For more of their mashups, check out their website or their soundcloud page.
