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!

It’s time for the Monday Mixtape! Early even…

This week’s mix is entitled April Rain. It’s a bimonthly compilation of the tracks that I’m digging from March and April. I would love to do this once a month, but what’s being released isn’t the best stuff I’ve heard. So I put together the best I could find (in my opinion of course).

You have probably heard my new moniker “The Mixtress of R&B”. It is part of my migration to my own domain (themixtress.com) which is being worked on. When I release it I will let you guys know. Also part of the new domain will be new features for everyday of the week. The rundown will be as follows:

Mixtape Mondays – Dance music and new music posts (Full Mix)
Tasty Tuesdays – Independent artists (Quick Mix)
Worldwide Wednesdays – News and music from around the world (Quick Mix)
Old School Thursdays – Artist Spotlights (Full Mix)
Freaky Fridays – Anything goes (Quick Mix)

As my girl Nikki says “It doesn’t matter which day you post a podcast as long as it’s hot!”

I put up a donation button because honestly, it’s costing me a pretty penny to share the mixes for free. You guys love them so much and I’m glad for the support and the love, but drop a dollar when you can in the donation box to help pay for the hosting. Thanks!

Here’s the mix…I hope you enjoy it!
