Slightlyellowed X Cold Day Music Mixtape

To honor the birth of our site, some of our very own have teamed up with the very talented people at Cold Day Music. We find ourselves lucky enough to be working with the very talented Boston native, Jean Alexandre, who established Cold Day Music in 2004. The mixtape will include a blend of ventage hip hop that honors earlier stages of hip hop and soul music. So far a very interesting library of intrumentals have been created, and are being matched to local D.C. area rappers to deliver a very unique blend of sounds. There is a sample of what is being done on our site, we hope you enjoy it and are excited for more to come.
