Paper Route Recordz



So Diplo's Mad Decent label just released a mixtape from Hunstville, Alabama's Paper Route Recordz called Fear & Loathing In HuntsVegas, available for a pay-what-you-want download which you can access here. I only recognize Blaqstarr and Wale on the mix, but there's some characters such as Big P.O.P.E. and Money Addict who I'm interested in from names alone. Best tracks so far are definitely the Diplo remix of Big P.O.P.E.'s track "Don't Go" w/ Wale and "Shotz" by Untamed w/ Dawgy Baggz (another great moniker). It's pretty filthy at times, probably not for everyone, but the rumbling beats and loudmouth verses make me want to turn it up and drive with my window down (but alas, weather.com says it feels like 12°F).

Update: Ummm some of the best stuff here is on the last half of the mix, especially:

X.O. - "Grind Baby" (prominently features Weezer's "Say It Ain't So")
Paper Route Gangstaz - "Soul Glo (The Knocks Remix)"
Jhi Ali feat. Cooley Da Dude & Big P.O.P.E. - "Alabama"

Just download the record and if you're real interested there's a higher quality version plus some bonus tracks if you choose to pay $5+. Hooray for options.
