Still, Mad Decent have dropped a free mixtape in the name of currently incarcerated rapper Gucci Mane and it’s dripping with talent. Comprising remixes from Gucci’s The Cold War Mixtapes, there are contributions from Diplo (obviously), Flying Lotus, Mumdance, DZ, Zomby and host of other impressive producers, it’s all very exciting.

What’s that? You don’t like Diplo? Think of this mixtape as a w(rap) of smack; even if you think you won’t like it, you’re probably going to end up loving it.*

*Drugs are bad. If somebody gives you some, throw them in the bin. In the bin, I say!

It would be reasonable to have doubts as to the overall quality of such a massive release, but from what I’ve heard so far, there doesn’t seem to be much dead wood stuffing the gaps. The tracks I’ve included below are from parts one and two respectively and are both, for want of a better phrase, absolutely sick. ‘Head Cold’ pulsates with a disconcerting strain of industrial depravity and ‘Blackout’ bears a bassline which lacerates the aural landscape, distorting and twisting its way into your system like an angry cobra. If you can’t tell already, I am a fan of DZ.

This one drops on January 5th and is available on 7digital.

Packed full of tunes largely courtesy of the Betamorph roster (which, you’ll notice, is very similar to the one cultivated over at Rottun), we’ve been treated to the likes of DZ, Flux Pavilion, Trolley Snatcha, RSK and Mark Instinct, as well as a ream of other up and coming filth mongers. Download it, have a listen, have a shower, repeat.
