Requested by my boy Ant, here low on the official mixtape series for the critically acclaimed anime series, Aaron McGruder’s The Boondocks. Anybody who’s seen a few episodes of the show has probably caught onto many of the social undertones and themes of the show (many which have carried over from McGruder’s comic strip by the same title), and his same anti-mainstream society motif shows up in the majority of the musical features on the tapes. Skyzoo, Talib Kweli, Tanya Morgan, Pacific Division, Jean Grae, Mos Def, Little Brother, Blu, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Tribe, Cunninlynguists, AZ, Rakim, Quasimoto, Bishop Lamonot and so many more. Do yourself a favor and at least peep one of these.

Posted by: TheDude in 2008 Releases, tags: 0-Day, 2008, A Tribe Called Quest, Amanda Diva, D'Angelo, Grouprip, Hip-Hop, Music, Norah Jones, Q-Tip, Rap, Raphael Saadiq, The Renaissance
Another big release. Q-Tip is back with his newest album, and even though I don’t know much about this project I know he’ll come correct as he always does. Here’s a quick blurb I came across:
The Renaissance mixes soul beats, piano, guitars, and Q-Tip’s usual thought-provoking lyricism, which takes you on a trip from relationships and summer songs to social issues of late, and has a kind of 90’s feel to it.
The album features: Raphael Saadiq, Norah Jones, D’Angelo and Amanda Diva.
Tracklist after the jump. Buy the CD here.

Been looking for this one a hell of a long time along with other cats. For those who are unfamiliar Amanda Diva (who has worked with the likes of Lupe Fiasco, Q-Tip, & DJ Cannon) has been holding shit down for a good minute for real female emcees (although cats ought to look at her as just an emcee without all the connotations of being a female spitter) from her first appearance on Def Poetry Jam up until her ‘07 stint as a replacement emcee for Floetry’s Natalie. Continuing in the tradition of Ivy League educated hip-hoppers such as Kidz in the Hall’s Naledge & Double O, Diva drops intelligent, yet common man friendly tracks. Looking for something to listen to on a lazy weekend morning? Check the album and if you like it buy it here (def check the tracks 40 Emcees & Windows Over Harlem).
