listened to the Twixtape earlier, sounds decent, if these are the cast offs from the album then i have high hopes for it.
Really liking the production too.
Best of luck with it.

EDIT: That Siyo chap sounds decent too, like his choice of beats for the mixtape.....only had a flick through but i did hear him mention that he's from Skellies Lane in Artane which is just down the road from me

The Breakout is finally here. Sorry to those who have been patiently waiting, but wait no more.
This collaboration project between Maja 7th & FSD features 16 brand new tracks from some of your favorite artists, including Naledge, GLC, Freddie Gibbs, Mikkey Halsted, Pugs Atomz, Mic Terror, L.E.P. Bogus Boys, Dave Coresh, Phil G, Juice and many more.
We broke ground on this project quite some time ago, so I’m happy that it’s now ready for public consumption. Thanks to everyone who participated in making The Breakout happen: the artists, managers, Ill Brown, Classick Studios, Soundscape Studios, Satellite Images, etc. You are appreciated.
So without further ado, let’s have the real star of the show, Maja 7th, say his piece:
Andrew and I stated working on this album around the 4th quarter of last year. I told him I had some beats I wasn’t using and I wanted to put out an album with predominantly Chicago artists. I had done some work with Killah Priest and some Wu-Affiliates and had been traveling around doing beat battles but I wanted to do something big for the city of Chicago. So we started making phone calls and people showed love. This album is about unity and showing these artists’ talents. It was my job to fuse those talents into a cohesive album. The goal wasn’t to make singles or club records. I just made music that felt right to me. – Maja 7th

Boom_Bap

4 Blockhead albums, yes, that's right, 4!

“I recently found a bunch of old beat tapes (literally cassettes). I hadn’t listened to any of that stuff in over 5/6 years and thought it would be cool to digitalize them. All these beats are either not saved or past the point where i would/could put them out. Included on these cassettes were the first beats I ever made. They date back to around 94/95 before i even had a sampler of my own. My homeboy Kasm (formally of the Atoms family) had just bought a MPC so i would go over there with samples and we’d make beats. this continued till about late 95 when i finally got my own sampler. While it was nice to have my own equipment , the difference in quality between what I was doing and what Kasm and I were doing was noticeable to say the least. in short, my solo beats sucked…for a long time. Not realizing this at the time i recorded everything i made and kept plugging away at it. it’s a good thing i did cause i’d very likely be working some ****ty minimum wage job had i not. so, with that, i give you “throwaway files Vol. 1″. it’s 16 random beats i made between 95-2003 that will never be used or heard in any other way. i chose these 16 randomly from about 175 tracks. the only one i picked specifically was the first beat i ever made (with kasm). it’s pretty bad but still crazy to hear after all these years. if you guys are into this kinda ****, lemme know and i’ll post more as this blog progresses. I just figured those of you who are into beats and the beat making process (nerds) would be curious of how my beats have progressed over the years. enjoy” – Blockhead
