A dope freebie here from one-time A Tribe Called Quest member Consequence, regular listeners to The Droppin’ Science Show will already be familiar with a couple of tracks, & there’s plenty more here to make this a worthy download.

Official blurb:

Grab some popcorn, Consequence’s new mixtape, Movies on Demand 2, is now playing.

Presented by XXL and Band Camp Records, in association with hotnewhiphop.com, MOD2 will feature guest appearances from Q-Tip, Bun B, Talib Kweli, Lil Fame of M.O.P., Havoc of Mobb Deep, Large Professor, Kendrick Lamar, Roc Marciano , Diggy Simmons, Mac Miller, Pill and XV. Production duties were handled by Kanye West, J Dilla, Tip, 88-Keys, Moss as well as Band Camp Records’ Produce Section consisting of Lee Bannon and the Fyre Department, with scratches by DJ Statik Selektah.

The tape, which is hosted by DJ Ill Will, DJ Rockstar, follows up Cons’ 2010 effort of the same name. The Queens-bred lyricist is currently working on his debut for Universal Record, Cons TV, to be entirely produced by his cousin, A Tribe Called Quest front man Q-Tip and former partner-in-rhyme, Kanye West.

Happy new year people! Here’s a mix I put together of some of my favourite Hip Hop tracks that came out in 2010 – mixed & blended together with plenty of cuts & juggles fresh cuts radio style. This could well be the last ‘fresh cuts’ from me for a while, as I’m now also playing fresh hip hop every month on the Droppin’ Science Show & have a tonne of other projects to focus on.

This is Kanye’s new 35 minute artistic expression featuring 9 tracks off his upcoming album. ’Runaway’ is full of beautifully filmed dream-like sequences (not surprising considering it was written by Hype Williams), and interesting narration by Nicki Minaj, yet the new beats are undoubtedly the highlight. Kanye’s back, and at his best.

Me and Chima ripping up his album launch party:

Lennon is a 17 year-old native of Connecticut who whilst has only been producing for 4 years now, has a mature sound that’s far ahead of his years. Lennon grew up on Dilla and mentioned some of his influences being Kanye, 9th Wonder, RJD2 & Alex Goose, which is evident in his music. Apart from influences spanding through all music genres, Lennon also draws great inspiration from the legendary Spike Lee’s movies.

Currently, Lennon is working on a new project with the Cosmic Souls Collective (one of the members, EPonym, rhymes over Lennon’s ‘Like That’ track on ‘Beat Tape’) which he recently joined, a couple of blog mixtapes & is always looking for opportunities to produce for other artists. Looking to the future, Lennon’s dream would be to work with people like Eminem, Dre, Flylo, Drake, Jill Scott, Lupe & The Roots. Given his talent at such a young age, the sky’s the limit really.

‘Beat Tape’ is Lennon’s most recent project and displays a variety of his production styles. On the mixtape you will hear a remix of a Madlib track, a Masta Ace classic & also a load of great jazzy, soulful & even eerie instrumentals. Lennon also has a couple of other tracks & another beat tape for download on his website, check it out here. Big up to Lennon for help with the post.
