Ayomari is dope.  I can't really say enough or even justify how much I've rocked this album since it was released a few days ago.  I'm impressed.  Truly, a solid effort featuring production by heavy-hitters Just Blaze and Large Professor (and PopLemon's 2009 best mixtape award winner, Cook Classics) and ... Continue Reading

Oh good grief, Lil Wayne. A preview of the artwork for The Drought is Overpast 7 was released a few days ago.  Let's see who may find this offensive: Anyone who loves Jesus.  This is currently 2.1 billion people worldwide. Anyone who was in New York on 9/11/2001.  I'm pretty sure they may ... Continue Reading

I almost lost my shit this morning.  No, really, I did. I've had this crazy affection towards Diplo forever.  I think I have one short album (maybe even an EP) of his that I would have worn the tape out of is I was rocking a cassette.  I love Diplo.  On ... Continue Reading

I love a good mixtape, and this year has been one of the best as far as pushing the envelope with creativity goes but also in redefining what a mixtape actually is.  For this reason, I have broken the mixtape category into three sections:  dj-based, emcee-based, and production-based.  Ratings are ... Continue Reading

Oh Weezy.  How I enjoy our love/hate relationship.  On one hand, you're borderline crazy, on the other hand, you're borderline genius.  Who drops a mixtape after they have been sentenced to a year behind bars on gun possession charges?  Weezy. Who impregnates stellar beauty Lauren London and R&B songstress Nivea ... Continue Reading

I'm not sure this week can get any better for music.. First Fashawn, and now Jermiside (Red Giants/Lessondary).  Not to mention a huge shout to one of my favorite djs, Dj Low Key, who lended his mixing hand... I've been waiting for this sucker for a long, long time. Download ... Continue Reading

I've been literally waiting on the edge of my seat for another Just the Tip exclusive mix for my PopLemons, and what better way to come correct than a Roc-a-Fella dedicated mix?  Even better, I forgot that some of these tracks even existed.. It's like Christmas, only better.  Much love ... Continue Reading

I always love and appreciate it when super talented people  join forces into one big superhuman transformer type entity - in this case, it's my friends at LARD & one of the most cutting edge djs in my area code, Dj Amen.  This shit is sure to be on deck ... Continue Reading
