Clipse mixtape: We Got it 4 Cheap Vol. 2 »
Much of the work done on this site over the last week or so was done with this mixtape on loop (and it still is), so we thought it only right you cop a blast too. You might be weary of drug-pushing related rap after a barrage over the last few years, and be warned, [...]

Best of the beats
Our pick of the best podcasts:
- D-Styles and The Glitch Mob (mp3) Another Low End Theory podcast - this one is just amazing! One of the best scratch DJs on the planet backed with the Glitch Mob. Beats are huge, bass looooow and you'll love it. Heavy head nod beats sprinkled with some classic hip hop tracks. A great example of how the LA beat scene is flying. »
- Glitch Mob mix for XLR8R (mp3) "Long before the LA beat scene threatened to take over the pages of XLR8R, The Glitch Mob was turning heads with its party-starting and hip-hop-informed take on bass music. Now, on the heels of their debut album, Drink the Sea, Ooah, Boreta, and edIT have moved beyond the confines of their Southern California stomping grounds and taken their low-end rumblings to the masses. Fresh off a massive US tour, the boys put together an exclusive mix for the XLR8R podcast, right before they hit the road again for another lengthy run of dates." Link: http://dlrg.co.uk/xl-gm »
