Hey Everybody! It’s time for a new Producer Spotlight. This week I’m doing Swizz Beatz!!!

I call him the King of the break because he has best break timing I’ve ever heard. Although he mainly works with rappers, Swizz is more than capable of producing an R&B Mega Hit! My favorite song to dance to in the club is still “Get Me Bodied” and Beyonce’s handlers were brilliant when they got Swizz to do that beat. Swizz Beatz has been on the scene since the late 90′s and much of his early work was with the Ruff Ryder crew. He made those hard core thugs from Yonkers transform into club kings with his beats. One of his best years so far was 2007 where he had 10 songs on the billboard charts.

I hope you enjoy the mix!

Hey Everybody! I had more requests for the 90′s so this time I went mid late 90′s. Full of the bouncy R&B joints and since I spent the weekend with hubby, I threw in a few joints for him too. He’s been playing my Mellow May and August Heat mixtapes a lot in the last two weeks so I know this will make it onto his Ipod as well. I experimented and practiced more with the techniques I learned at the Scratch Academy..Sometimes it worked…sometimes I didn’t quite hit the mark..I’m a work in progress. Despite the minor flaws I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do!

Special thanks to my podcast crew for their drops. If you want to submit one or hype yourself in my mix…send me a 12 sec or less mp3 file to djdivathemixtress@gmail.com

Originally recorded 5/18/09

This is part 2 of the Monday Mixtape for this week. Here is part one..

So I like I said before…I have been swamped by outings with friends, the twins graduation, Prom and induction into the Honor Society, changes in leadership at the job…It’s been quite a summer so far.

I’m behind but I like to keep my promises.

This mix was requested by my best friend Tutu. Yeah she’s my best friend. Divaliscious is my sister and Tutu is my best friend. She requested this mix for her b’day back in April and although I was still going to class at Scratch, I put this together for her. I used some of songs I was listening to in April and may…with some of the songs i used for my final at the Scratch Academy…with some of the songs I heard during Tutu’s birthday weekend…

Funny thing is…I threw a graduation party for the twins and this mix was such a hit…so uhm…you might want to listen to what your kids are listening to..

I took too long posting it…but those who have had it…have loved it…so why hold on to it?

Most are songs you already love but I hope you still enjoy the mix!
