Tyler (of aboveGround Magazine) and I came up with the idea of compiling together a group of tracks that we feel hip-hop fans need to hear. This is a great way to catch up on songs that were released in the month of October. We are hoping to make a compilation mixtape for each month. A great way to catch up on what you may have missed in the past month - not to mention a great way to check out some new artists.

Big thanks to my homie Charlie Hield for the artwork. aboveGround Mag I see you.

50 Cent - Pshyco ft. Eminem (Prod. By Dr. Dre)

These are both off 50’s upcoming album Before I Self Destruct which leaked today. This one hurts - his album wasn’t supposed to drop till November 23th. Ah well ha!

LMAO at posting 50 and Khaled/Ross tracks in the same post!
