A lot of these dudes are looking at me as starting to be a powerhouse in the game as far as these mixtapes are concerned. It’s easier because most of these cats are just coming up and getting started and they really can’t afford the Swizz Beatz and Pharrells, so they look for the hot young cats that ain’t really looking for too much.
#JAHLIL BEATS INSTRUMENTAL MIXTAPE MAC#
I’m doing work with Twist, Mac Miller, YG.ĭo you find it’s easier to work with artists closer to your own age? I’m dropping stuff every other week! I’m working with 50 Cent, Chris Brown, Tyga, Dorrough, DJ Drama, Master P’s daughter I was just out there in Hollywood working with her and Master P. I also got this track out with Nick Cannon’s label artist, The Wonder Broz and it’s playing on Teen Nick right now called “Chitty, Chitty.” Just look out for mixtape tracks. I got one upcoming track that’s about to come out Tony Yayo’s new single featuring Gucci Mane. Let the readers know what upcoming tracks you have that are coming out. If you’re in a partying mood, you listen to certain things if you’re in a deep mood, you know some days I just might fall back and chill and listen to Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt. Cole “Feel Love,” Lil’ Wayne & Cory Gunz “6’7,” and Rick Ross “MC Hammer”– I love that song when that song comes on in the club, everything shuts down! It’s a close tie with “B.M.F.” I’m checking for everything though–I’m the type of dude I listen to everything it’s all about your mood. Lupe’s song “Show Goes On,” Kanye West “Devil in a New Dress,” my homie Sean Garrett & J. What 5 songs are you listening to in your iPod on repeat? Right now in 2011 it’s more of getting my face out there people are starting to see my face more as far as MTV, BET, and the radio. In 2011, I’m trying to go with the same game plan– flood the market, stay consistent, and whatever pops up just take advantage of it. In 2010, my plan was just to flood the market and that worked.
What is your plan/goals for the rest of this year? I look at myself as only one year strong in the game, so for me to accomplish what I have accomplished now, I know for sure in a couple of years I’ll be working with then cats. I’m real close to their camp, I just have to work harder. I look at it as I will work with them, but I just have to work harder.
I want to work with Eminem, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Drake. What artists are you looking to work with this year? Do you have a wish list? That’s how I kind of got buzzing on the internet, was putting out instrumental mixtapes on that kind of made a little name for myself. I also got an instrumental mixtape coming out in April, it’s going to be like 18 tracks. Just a re-introduction for people who don’t know who I am. I was looking at some of the comments, and a lot of people really don’t know who I am yet so I’m just going to put this mixtape out, and it’s got 80 tracks with a lot of stuff I already did, and some new stuff. Jahlil: I had did this little video– and it’s the hottest video on – and it’s just me at my lil’ brother’s crib making a track on the computer. It is now a word to generally describe full-length albums released for free, which is the modern form of mixtape that was made a popular following by 50 Cent and his group G-Unit in the early 2000s, sometimes containing all original music, other times composed of freestyles and remixes of popular tracks.Speaking of work, let’s talk about this 80-track mixtape Still on my Grind you have coming out on DatPiff this week that I saw you tweet about. In the hip hop scene, mix tape is often displayed as a single term mixtape. Also since the 1990s, it describes releases used to promote one or more new artists, or as a pre-release by more established artists to promote upcoming "official" albums. Blend tapes became increasingly popular by the mid-1990s, and fans increasingly looked for exclusive tracks and freestyles on the tapes. Ron G moved the mixtape forward in the early 1990s by blending R&B a cappellas with hip hop beats (known as "blends").
In the mid-1980s, DJs, such as Brucie B, began recording their live music and selling their own mixtapes, which was soon followed by other DJs such as Kid Capri and Doo Wop. (who later became known as Whiz Kid) and DJ Super V would create personalized House Tapes which would eventually circulate throughout New York City. In the late 70's into the early 80's DJs began recording mixtapes out of their homes, referring to them as House Tapes. As more tapes became available, they began to be collected and traded by fans. Hip hop mixtapes first appeared in the mid-1970s in New York City, featuring artists such as Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa. In hip hop's earliest days, the music only existed in live form, and the music was spread via tapes of parties and shows.
