Hey Everybody! This is June Jacking Part 5! It should be called the Drake Edition because of course I love his new album!

I call it June Jacking because when I started hustling mixed cds 7 years ago…it was really jacking the net for music then.  I would spend hours searching for songs and uploading songs from my cds…just a long drawn out process!

Things are easier now with places like Limewire and Dopehood.com (love yall!)  When I need new music now I tend to head over to Eb-the Celeb‘s site or YouHeardThatNew (although I don’t mess with rap that much). My new music mixes are generally more on the hiphop side and probably not safe for children under 11. Play at your own risk!

I hope you enjoy it!

THIS IS MY SONG!

Hey Everybody! It’s time for a new music mixtape again. I’m still playing the one I did in December (I said that last year too lol). March Madness Part 2. It should be called “Radio Friendly” because a lot of these songs are being played on the radio right now. There is a new track by Mary J. Blige and Swizz Beatz called “Fancy” that I am just in love with. I was unable to get a clean copy but I didn’t care! Thanks Tapemasters Inc anyway!

My favorite mix moment was between #8. I Come First – Ne-Yo and #9. Freak – Estelle Ft. Kardinal Offishall. I just grin every time I hear that part of the mix. I’m also diggin that song “Miss Chocolate” by Lil Jon, R. Kelly and Mario and the new J. Holiday song “Pretty Body”. I’m still loving the Untitled Album by R. Relly and it’s always nice to hear a new tune by John Legend (Thanks EbTheCeleb!) A few minor glitches but I love the mix and I hope you will too!

18. Echo – R. Kelly
19. Pretty Body – J. Holiday

Hey everybody! This mix of new songs is real New York heavy. It could be from the fact that we moved again in Harlem. Really the heart of Harlem this time. I love New York. The feel of the artists..the pounding of the beats. I could see myself having a Lil Mama moment during Jay-Z’s performance too. Shout out to my boy Fave for putting together a quick cover for me and my lil Mama moment!

Most of the songs are relatively new. My daughters made requests for Chris Brown, Beyonce, and Pitbull. I included a new artist Jay Sean cause his song was really catchy to me. My new R&B favorites Ryan Leslie, Mario and Trey Songz.

I put in R. Kelly’s new joint “Religious” which took me to church. I got Boyz II Men’s new single “Back For Good” which is a remake of the hit by Take That. I especially enjoyed that ..thanks Shawn! Ursher’s “Papers” is the male version of “Not Gonna Cry’ . Shout out to my girl Eb_the_Celeb for the link!

There are a few minor glitches but I do my best in one take. I hope you enjoy it!

This week’s mix is some of the best of Timberland. Timberland is one of the best R&B producers I know. Yeah, I know he does rap too but his hiphop beats always appeals to these R&B ears of mine. He has the ability to make the hardest MCs sound danceable! Timberland is a genius. His beats always leave you slightly off kilter, slightly off beat with enough break for grinding. Yeah…I spent a lot of time grinding to Tim. Don’t let the lights go dim on some Aaliyah…don’t let the lights go dim and I owed somebody like Nas…Enough reminiscing…

(RantTime like back in the blogspot days)

As usual you may hear a few mistakes…I do this in one take with a little practice time to set up mix points and try out the beatmatching. In case you are wondering why I don’t spend more time on my “craft”..it’s because a Diva has a HUSBAND, a set of twins who are honor roll students and attending private school, I’m in Graduate School now..pursuing my Ph.D. in English Literature..plus I have a lot of friends…social media peeps included and all of this consumes my time. Oh and did I mention I’m a full time manager at a Top Graduate School? Yeah..A Diva is busy…

That said…I tried to camouflage any really bad mix points…I am really proud of some blends…Like 1&2, 2&3, 6&7, 8&9, 14&15, and some more…As said in class…I have a really good ear for beatmixing on turntables..and a talent for playlist selection… so please…enough comments on my beatmixing skills….

Enjoy it or click off.

I do this “every week”…I give you a new theme every week…I put a lot of time in choosing a good playlist to go along with my concept…I make my own coverart every week and I’m no artist! I’m really tired of the “Oh you didn’t do this right” and “you didn’t scratch..blah blah blah” comments.

I never promised you a rose garden.

I say all that to say…this is my hobby…and I enjoy it…I really do. Eventually I will purchase more equipment..I went to the Scratch Academy and got that Certificate…so please believe…I KNOW how to scratch!..Every week my mixes get better and every week I birth more music, which gets me back and forth to work and gives some folks pleasure.

I hope YOU enjoy it!

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!
