Offthechart's Random Tracks of the Day

When Saigon first announced announced his debut album, The Greatest Story Never Told, there was an enormous amount of hype. His first mixtape, Warning Shots, was pretty incredible and he scored a huge cameo on the HBO show Entourage. However, that was nearly 5 years ago. Since then, Saigon has basically fallen into obscurity. Still, it is an undeniable fact that some of his tracks are absolutely fire. Check out this classic Saigon cut with a huge feature from Jay-Z. No youtube of this one, hit the download link to stream it, though.

Another track from Slim Thugga. This dude just has some tracks that are straight fire. Released as promotional content for Slim Thug's last album, Boss of All Bosses, this track has got a killer beat. Check it out.

My favorite track from the rising star Nero. I spotted this dude at illroots a couple months ago and have picked up every one of his tracks since. He's got some incredibly clever lyrics and every song warrents a couple spins to pick up on some of his best lines.

Offthechart's Random Tracks of the Day: Dirty South Edition

First up for the day is an 8-minute anthem dedicated to the city of Miami. This song features vocals from Flo Rida, Rick Ross, and Brisco, as well as a crazy beat. Typical of dirty south hip-hop, the lyrics of 'Yayo' boil down to a whole lot of slang, rather than any particularly meaningful content. However, the vocals sound so clean over the hard hitting base and resounding cries of 'Yayo' in the background that it's hard to complain.


Download: Yayo feat. Brisco, Billy Blue, Ball Greezy, Rick Ross, Redd Eyezz, Bred, Pitbull and Ace Hood

This track is a remix of of 'She Luv it' which was featured on UGK's final album, UGK 4 Life, which was dedicated posthumously to Pimp C. This is a classic UGK song, with a slow beat, a heavy bass and a crooning chorus, all backing up the smooth lyrics of Bun B. This track also benefits from a verse from Slim Thug, another staple in dirty south music.

This song is product of dirty southern hip-hop supergroup, The Fixxers, which is made up of DJ Quik and AMG. This song placed on hip-hop charts across the country, as well as being featured on an episode of Entourage. Like most southern hip-hop tracks, 'Can U Werk Wit Dat' is backed by a heavy, trunk-bouncing bass and a simple looping synth beat.

Weekly Mixtape: Volume 1 (April 26th)

So I'm getting the jump on this a night early, but usually these will go up Sunday nights. Basically, every week I'm going to throw together a mixtape of 10-20 songs that particularly stood out to me this week. Most of these won't be taken from old posts from the week so this is definitely something worth picking up. Since this is the first edition, I stretched a little bit further back than a week and pulled some choice tracks off of Wiz Khalifa's Kush and OJ mixtape, as well as The Game's Red Room. If anyone has any tracks they think should have made the cut this week, leave a comment. Tracklist and download link down low.

Offthechart's Random Tracks of the Day

From the 3-disk Mixtape Messiah 1, 'Call some Hoes' features Kanye West and Stat Quo, as well as an awesome chorus. Although Chamillionaire didn't see any mainstream success until over a year later with his single 'Ridin', this song makes it clear that Chamillitary Mayne has always been killing it. Fun fact to know and tell: Chamillionaire's music has been completely profanity free since his 2007 album, Ultimate Victory.

Off of KiD CuDi's first mixtape, A Kid Named Cudi. In my opinion, this tape was stronger than the album. With songs like 'The Prayer', 'Cudi Get' and '50 Ways to Make a Record', KiD CuDi had to have made one of the strongest debut mixtapes in history. Looking forward to his upcoming CD, The Legend of Mr. Rager.

Download: Is There Any Love? feat. Wale

This song is an absolute banger for your car. Released to build up hype for Slim Thug's latest CD, Boss of All Bosses, the beat on this is insane. Slim Thug consistently drops some incredible tracks, so expect to see some more of him on my random track posts. Fun fact to know and tell: Lupe Fiasco's 'Hip-Hop Saved My Life' is based Slim Thug's life.
