DJ Fuse One - Metamorphosis

This mix-cd is on my top 10 favourite rap mixtapes ever. 

It was release in 2002 and it's a perfect example of what a mixtape should be: great selection (here rap but also fine breaks), technical skills, some playful cut-ups (the bit about DJ Shadow's samples starting track 11 is simply classic) and a cohesive feel. 

Everything here was meticulously cooked and arranged, and, like some of the Buddy Peace mixes, it pushes the 'mixtape game' to a delicious level of rap nerdery (still, even if you don't get everything at first hear, you can still enjoy it).

Listen and enjoy. And if you liked it, cope his second one, "Irregular I", released on Epitome Of Fresh.

Private School - Penrose EP

I always loved SF's Private School. Their minimalist sound is somewhat miraculous to me. They're like 180 degrees from the current hype type rap and thank god, they couldn't care less and keep on developping their quiet, soft spoken style years after years. 

If you're not familiar with their previous albums and enjoy their new free EP Penrose like I did, please check them you'll be rewarded. They got plenty of solo and side projects as well.

Long live the Private School.
