DJ Mars, DJ Doc & DJ Trauma Present Anthony David - The Sound Of Love Mixtape Review

When I saw this mixtape I was hoping 3 times the charm because with this many DJ's for one artist it better be good. Represented by this site http://bamalovesoul.com/ and just based on the content it looks like these guys are working hard which usually means good things. I wished they would have worked a little harder on the cover because as far as mixtapes go its WEAK. Hopefully the 24 tracks provided are not sorry and or I do not follow asleep from listening so much to an unknown artists. Time for these superears to strap on the headphones. DJ Mars, DJ Doc & DJ Trauma Present Anthony David - The Sound Of Love mixtape is very soulfull and jazzy. Its got a laid back love hip hop vibe with a kina street musician vibe. I think with 3 DJ's working on it the production might have been a little better. The singing is okay but pretty standard. Sadly this Album just lacks something special and there are no real standouts or highlights to speak of other then some of the live music. The best part of the album seemed to be a cool shout out from Obama and an unplugged cover song. Sigh.

Anthony David – Find Your Love Unplugged

The live music on the album is pretty cool and a nice change from the computer generated stuff.

Chip Tha Ripper - Gift Raps Mixtape Review

One mixtape that is quickly making the circuit is a new joint from Southern stylist Chip Tha Ripper. I was hoping this mixtape would be a gift after seeing the cover. Cover is very clever and eye appealing. True Santa Clause. 13 songs and no features so I could not wait to open up these download presents. For the most part this mixtape is way too simple and mediocre. Chip Tha Ripper - Gift Raps mixtape is nothing to really get excited about. The raps and beats try to sound futuristic yet they sound like they from the 80's and sound pretty average. There are barley any connections or concepts on the album as well, which does not help its cause either. This is one of the first mixtapes where I am probably not even keeping a song but if I was forced it would maybe be.....

For me this one was one yawner.
