So I was recently perusing NPR's lists of the best shit of 2008 (really hood, I know) and I came across this article on mixtapes. If you don't know, mixtapes are ill underground rap records that generate buzz for underground rappers trying to break thorugh, or generate buzz for big rappers trying to get back on top of the game (I'm lookin at you 50).

The best one I heard was by this dude Wale (pronounced Wa-lay). The kid has skills, and spits it hard on his tape called "The Mixtape About Nothing"

It is mad good. If you like Seinfeld, or rap, or both, it is likely to appeal to you.

I first heard about Wale on youtube, where he has been known to spit fire, particularly on the "Mr. Carter" beat



If you're feelin it, peep the mixtape here.
