The Five One
The Five One are a group like no other. Their sound is blessed with freedom, inventiveness, and true imagination. The quartet is rooted in Hip Hop but is never bound by conventional ideologies of hip hop or any other genre for that matter. They are like a cross between a pleasing Indie Pop/Rock band and the most innovative Hip Hop group you've ever heard.
Here are a few of tracks from their album The Five One - "5109: The Remix Album". It's worth checking out!
The Five One - Need You More (feat. Daft Punk)
The Five One - Time Is Cheap (feat. Clipse & Nike Nando)
The Five One Remix Lucifer - Jay Z
Eminem - E-tox
From the man who brought us the Asher Roth mixtape, Mr Peter Parker brings this Eminem mixtape. Featuring unreleased and earlier tracks from Em's career, it serves as a great illustration of his evolution through rap.
Download here!
Dr. Dre
Here is a track from quite a few mixtapes floating around out there on the interweb at the moment. I'm not sure if it will make the final cut for the highly anticipated release of Dre's Detox album or not. Nevertheless, the beat is as crazy as ever, enjoy!

U.N.K.L.E
Here is a track from British trip-hop group U.N.K.L.E. This track, 'Heaven' was used in the film 'Fully Flared' directed by Spike Jonze and Ty Evans. The video for the track is made up of footage used and re-edited from the film. I love this track, the skateboarding team show their skills in this visually stunning video.
Enjoy!
Leaked Dr. Dre
Here is a leaked tracked, potentially from the highly anticipated upcoming release from the masterful Dr. Dre. This track is just one of many which have ended up on the net, so it's anyone's guess if it'll make it onto the album, but anyhoo, the track reminds you of the great production Dre always brings:
