On The Wire: #MikeWillBeenTrill Mixtape + Other Misc Trap Vids

Travelogue: Day 2 in D.C. / ON THE WIRE: E. Oks “Back Up, Black Out”
Yesterday, I spent a total of 12 hours listening to Oks’ tape to determine my objective view on this body of work.

I noticed that a lot of music blogs and sites host mixtapes made with tracks from various up-in-coming artists, mash-ups from DJs, or indie bands that receive no sunshine from The Industry. But their compilations never truly resemble anything like an actual mixtape – a set of songs that sound as personal as a toothbrush, carefully arranged together by the selection’s owner and then offered back to others who aren’t afraid to use a pal’s toothbrush and are fearless in experimenting with dental hygiene from their mouth’s point of view.
