"Mid-Summer Classics Vol. 2" is a follow up of the original mix (2010) and features some of our favorite selections from the past few months.

Rashid Hadee - 808's & Hadee Mixtape

This is some craziness that our guy Rashid Hadee sent us last night.
Steal it HERE.
Don't forget to grab Rashid Hadee & Cosm Roks 'A Change Gon Come' Mixtape (on the right of the page).

Heres the press release:
Honest Management presents the latest mixtape opus by the incomparable Rashid Hadee entitled Chopped Not Screwed Vol.1: 808’s & Hadee. Known as the go to producer of Chicago when you want that good ole soulful boom bap, Rashid Hadee has decided to pay homage to the home team on the first installment of his Chopped Not Screwed mixtape series. With lyricism that has garnered as much love and respect as his production Rashid Hadee shares with you his interpretation of an album he simply feels is honest (no pun intended). If you wonder why he chose 808’s to “chop not screw” instead of one of the more openly loved releases from Kanye’s college themed trilogy, Hadee will simply tell you “because 808’s & Heartbreak is pure genius!” Most would believe he’s on an obvious hometown bias trip but the commonalities of both artists are evident as well as the struggle so as a producer/rapper Hadee feels he relates to as well as understands the mind of Mr. West. Chopped Not Screwed keeps the features to a minimum, sharing mic time with a couple of members from his Chapter 13 crew (Augustine & Melatone), Decay of The Molemen and Chicago veterans Pugs Atomz and The Primeridian. Rashid Hadee has produced entire projects for internationally respected pioneering Chicago acts Abstract Mindstate, Thaione Davis and the aforementioned Pugs Atomz as well as his own debut Neblina Records release entitled Dedication but Chopped Not Screwed Vol.1: 808’s & Hadee is about the artistic expression of the producer and the rapper.

"Windy City Soul" Mixed by Cosm Roks (2009) THHP029

It's Finally Here! The mixtape that was shelved for over 2 years is available for the first time, and its FREE.

Download it Here.

The evocative nature of soul music seduces our mind's eye and like an unrequited fantasy it perpetually titillates our imagination. Soul music can be our gateway to a distinct voyeurism, where we marvel at
the spectacle of baselines convalescing with drums. Soul music speaks a tongue that unites the divisive and allows us to share in the celebration of triumphs and commiserate in the melancholy of heartbreak.

This summer, Hip-Hop Project DJ Cosm Roks anoints listeners with a myriad of soul classics from soul pioneers Willie Hutch, Bobby Womack, The Isley Brothers, Teddy Pendergrass, Billy Paul, Gil Scott Heron, Curtis Mayfield and many more.
