Diplo Presents “Free Gucci: Best of the Cold War Mixtapes”
Diplo & the crew over at Mad Decent have officially kicked off the 2010 mixtape scene with what I’m sure is going to be one of the year’s best underground releases. Free Gucci: Best of the Cold War Mixtapes is a collection of remixes from Gucci Mane’s Cold War Mixtape series (which I suggest picking up in addition to this if you don’t already have it).
With tracks by Diplo, Salem, Teenwolf and Benzi, just to name a few. Much like the PRGz mix, the production on here spans a range of sounds that shift from ethereal new age (Gucci: “Yo mane, lemme git some of that Enya shit on here.”) to upbeat club bangers and gloomy goth & dubstep. I’ve had this mix on repeat since copping it last week (thanks guys!) and with no hesitation, this mixtape is on par with the best.
Download the mix here and grab your coat, it’s about to be cold in here… BRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tend to find Gucci Mane about three-quarters retarded most of the time, but anything Diplo touches is like kryptonite to me so Ima have to check this Enya shit out.

Also if you liked the Gucci Tape then make sure to cop the Adult Swim ATL Remix tape from a month or two back. It’s where the Flying Lotus Gucci joint first showed up.

So good. You guys put up a link to the new South Rakkas Crew album yet? These two offerings made my week.
