Kannon Presents - Best Of June 2013

Well folks, another month has passed, and half the year is officially over. Summer is upon us, and it's hot as shit. So it's time to break out those blenders, and make some margaritas, lay out by the pool, and throw on the Best of June 2013 mix, brought to you by Kan Diggy. This month was a fantastic month for hip hop. Not only that, but a great month for albums/mitapes. Usually I find a handful of dope singles, but struggle to find any quality albums. This month there was no short in great projects. El-P and Killer Mike released their Run The Jewels project for free, which is easily top 5 of the year so far. Freddie Gibbs released a new album now that he's free from the CTE chains. Drake announced a release date for his upcoming Nothing Was The Same album, and dropped 4 new songs in the process. Dead Poet got me obsessed with a youtube video. Asher Roth rapped on a bunch of people's beats better than they did. We got new singles from Gunplay, Jadakiss, Danny Brown and Vic Mensa. Chase N. Cache and Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire both finally impressed me. I discovered Russ, Vince Staples and Marion Write. We saw new projects from C Plus, Weerd Science, Action Bronson & DJ Mustard. And let's not forget about the June 25th Release Date Trifecta, which may have seen sales going Kanye West, J. Cole, Mac Miller, but dare I say quality went the exact opposite. Anyways, Enjoy another month of free music. If you like the songs, pick up the full projects. Until next time...

Vince Staples - Stolen Youth (Mixtape / Prod. by Larry Fisherman)

Ive been seeing the name Vince Staples around a little bit lately, and seeing that Q, Soul and Mac Miller fux with him, I decided to give his free 10 track mixtape a quick listen.

Nico Segal - Donnie Trumpet (Mixtape)

Nico Segal, formerly of the Chicago crew Kids These Days, drops off his debut jazz ep under the pseudonym Donnie Trumpet. Vic Mensa is all over this shit too, so it's tough to really call it "Jazz," but you know. Besides, there are few things doper than when Jazz and Hip Hop collide.

New Asher shit. Along the lines of his first Greenhouse Effect tape, meaning he's rocking over a lot of other people's beats. And the songs are usually like 2 minutes long. But word. Kid has flows and schemes for days, so this is still a dope little jammy jam. Check it.

Kannon Presents... The Best Of May 2013

Another month, Another collection of music. This was actually a good month for music. Lots of dope shit. Also, a ton of music came out this month that I still haven't gotten around to listening to yet, so I imagine next month will be dope as well haha. This month we heard the first single from Slaughterhouse's upcoming album. AZ returned to music. I turned in my late pass for that DJ Nu-Mark album, and some british dude named Bonobo. Raashan Ahmad proved he can still make dope music without Crown City Rockers. theWHOevers continue to make ridiculously good soul-infused hip hop. We got the first official single from the El-P/Killer Mike collective know as Run The Jewels. Black Hippy made the most listenable version of UOENO. I discovered M.I, Murph Watkins, and New Zealand DJ/producer P-Money. Oh, and Thaione Davis is still alive. Enjoy the free shit, I'll see yall again next month.

But now we have the official debut collection of Chuck Inglish solo rap tunes. This is however, the prelude EP to his upcoming debut album, Convertables. So grab this ditty for free, get hooked, and pay for the next one.

The Jet Age Of Tomorrow - The Jellyfish Mentality (Mixtape)

Odd Future's production duo of Matt Martians (The Internet) and Pyramid Vritra drop off their third album this week, in The Jellyfish Mentality. Features include Earl, Mike, Domo, Hodgy, Casey, and the less predictable Jessy Boykins III, Kilo Kish, Mac Miller and a few more. I'm a huge fan of The Internet's production, so grabbing this was a no brainer for me. And for Free.99, you really can't go wrong.

Travi$ Scott - Owl Pharoah (Mixtape)

New tape from the G.O.O.D. Music/Grand Hustle artist, fresh off his XXL 2013 Freshmen feature. This may sound like a terribly strange mashup, but this tape reminds me of what it would sound like if Future and Kid Cudi made an album together... I'm still not 100% sold on Travi$ Scott yet (or anyone with a $ in their name that isn't Curren$y), but this tape is definitely worth checking at least once.

Murph Watkins - Loose Women N Booze (Mixtape)

I was on the fence about Murph when I first heard him. And while this album won't end up in my Top 20 at the end of the year, it's tough to listen to this and not recognize the potential. Most of the tracks are laid back, which I love. So if youre looking for something new to kick back and vibe to, definitely give this a few spins. I hope to see more of Murph Watkins in the future.

Le$ - E36 (Mixtape)

Le$ drops his second tape in under 2 months. I will be honest here and say I didn't care too much for his last one, but this time around it's all original beats and this shit is dope as fuck. You'd be wise to jump right in and download this, smooth as fuck SLAB music project.

Jackie Chain - Bruce Lean Chronicles 2 (Mixtape)

Bama spitter Jackie Chan comes through with his second installment of Bruce Lean Chronicles and it's a monster that features, Yelawolf, Rittz, Big K.R.I.T., Juicy J, ST 2 Lettaz, Lil Wyte, Diamond, Mata & more and production from DJ Burn One, Block Beattaz and more.
