Josh Martinez - Archived Rap Music (2004)

 


Today's upload is a tour mixtape courtesy of Josh Martinez, "Archived Rap Music" from 2004! 

Josh Martinez has got to be one of the most likable guys in indie rap. He's been gracious enough to talk to me at the merch booth about super nerdy rap stuff on various occasions lol and always has a smile on his face. "Archived Rap Music" is one of the many tour mixtapes that Martinez had back in the day (this one was on a tour with Awol One I think.) Something unique about Martinez is that he was always updating his mixtapes while on tour, so tracklistings vary even amongst the same release title. 

Anyhow, the tracklisting here includes deep album cuts, features, then-unreleased tracks, and several live on radio tracks which are especially cool. 

Martinez is now focused on running a weed business up here which is super cool. There is still a pretty much done Chicharones album though that we still need to hear!

  1. Josh is one of the nicest guys I've had the pleasure to interact with in the Rap field. I haven't seen him in years, though. Hope he's well.
