Oh yes. HBO has recognised the awesomeness of Last year’s How To Make It In America’s mixtape and has released Vol 2 in readiness for Season 2. Vol I was curated by overseer Broke Mogul (who put the beats behind Entourage) with Kid Cudi and Green Lantern at the helm. For Vol 2 Broke has brought in DJ & mixtapista Mick Boogie. It’s fresh and pretty much the best ad for the show. Enjoy.

—Make Some Noise
A new track dropped by the Beasties. Thanks to Matt for sending this my way.
Make Some Noise
This wasn’t really part of the plan, but since this track is out there we wanted to let you hear it here first, or maybe second. Enjoy

If you’re a mixtape lover, check out Press Record. I came across it via the Vestax Spin Facebook page and it’s just one man’s portal for getting all his mixtapes out. John Phillips only uses a Spin and his mixes are well worth a listen.
Right now I’m listening to House Broken but really he’s more of a hip-hop DJ. Check out Shades for some real classics.

Admittedly I was conflicted by Rasta Mouse when I first saw him. But I’m over that. I love him. I love the easy crew. The mixing’s a bit all over the place but the selection is juuuust right.

Yoda took it upon himself to remind us of Lady Love’s oeuvre. What a way to start a Friday.
We’re about a year late over here. But it seems that my favourite TV show is about to land in the UK.
I was sold on How To Make It In America within the first 60 seconds. The title sequence: the photography, the song, Marky Mark, shit… everything. Within about 5 minutes the leads are at a house party greeting Kid Cudi. They care about music. Hell, the lead’s even a singer.
Aloe Blacc’s title song. Aloe who? Yeah, exactly. A show that doesn’t play on what’s big, but unearths talent instead. Didn’t The OC do that? Yes, but it unearthed teen angst crap. This show has a little bit of credibility. It seems to be made for people who care about music. Not chart buyers. Check out Aloe’s album because it’s good.
But back to the point, you can download a mixtape promoting the show put together by Kid Cudi, DJ Green Lantern & Broke Mogul. Tracklist.
And if you want a flavour of the whole show you can checkout the Spotify playlist of all the songs used: How To Make It In America - Spotify Playlist
