Happy New Year's everyone! Before we get to today's post, quick note. Moving forward, Dimxsk and I (being back) will be doing something new for the blog this year entitled, "Breaking Ground." Essentially, every other week, we'll take turns listening to a rec from the other, that we have not heard before, and giving our brief thoughts about it. This could range from newer stuff we've never heard of to oldies that we haven't gotten around to for one reason or another. Dimxsk is gonna start things off next week with a recommendation I have cooking up for him. If anyone has suggestions, feel free to let us know!
As for today's upload, we've got Manik's "1derful Mixtape" from 2009. We've posted some Manik before, but for those who don't know, he is a Vancouver, CA rapper perhaps best known for his work with DJ Sichuan (as the Sunday Skool Dropouts) and his battles with KOTD.
The "1derful Mixtape" is a project that Manik dropped I believe on his website back in 09. It is definitely a product of that time period and, upon re-listening, had me remembering back to the good ol' Datpiff days. The tape has Manik spitting verses over popular beats of the time, complete with blends and DJ drops lol! While this isn't going to blow your mind (it's not on the Lil Wayne level of mixtapes,) it might still have some of the better raps that Manik has spit over the years. The guestlist is fun too, with appearances from Jeff Spec, Evil Ebenezer, DJ Sichuan, and Joey Stylez amongst others.
