OJ Da Juiceman is the latest rapper to link with prized producer Zaytoven for a collaborative full-length mixtape. The 14 track Juice Vs. Zay finds the Atlanta representatives combining their talents for a street-oreintated body of work. These two aren’t new to each other and it shows as their chemistry is displayed through the full listening experience. Juice’s unique delivery and Zay’s signature piano laced sound go well together. “Work My Wrist,” “Geeked,” “9 To 5,” and “Bricks & Bells” are the best offerings.

In the past year Zay has released collaborative projects with Future, OG Maco, and Trouble. Not to mention he has one coming with Bankroll Fresh. Don’t be surprised if he adds a few more names to the list before the end of the year.

For now, stream Juice Vs Zay below and for more, revisit the former’s previous mixtape, The Realest N*gga I Know 2.

OJ Da Juiceman‘s releases have been sporadic over the years, but when he does decide to release new material, he always feeds the streets. With DJ Rell playing hosting duties and the Atlanta rapper’s 32 Entertainment imprint backing, he unleashes his new mixtape, The Realest N*gga I Know 2. The 18 track collection follows up 2010’s The Realest N*gga I Know, which was well-received by fans. Grabbing producers such as Lex Luger, C4, 808 Mafia, Hamsquad, and Purps On Da Beat, OJ delivers a batch of heavy-hitting street anthems that include standout cuts “Realest N*gga In It, ” “Cray,” “Work,” and “Falls Down.”

Stream The Realest N*gga I Know 2 below and be on the lookout for his next move.

90’s revivalist hip-hop is often trite and contrived, consisting of rappers desperate for creativity who paraphrase freshness from the past without offering anything new.  Gangsta Boo and Beatking’s new mixtape Underground Cassette Tape Music is a glaring exception. It incorporates elements from Gangsta Boo’s past verses with Three 6 Mafia, while simultaneously offering fresh perspective relative to our generation of Southern trap music. It’s a genuine incarnation of the Dirty South. Beatking said in a recent interview with Noisey that “Underground Cassette Tape Music sounds like some shit you’d be jammin’ from Swishahouse in 1999, from Screw in 1999, or if you was jammin’ DJ Paul and Lord Infamous’ Come to Hell with Me II in 1995.” Beatking and Gansta Boo enhance the tape with features from artists such as Danny Brown, OJ da Juiceman, Paul Wall, Daz Dillinger and Lil’ Flip. This is a fantastic tape. Beatking perfectly surmised the style of it when he said “[his beats on this record] let you know what trap music would sound like before it was called trap and was just hard music.”

It’s that time again. We’ve painstakingly picked out the best mixtapes of the past week just for you. You’re welcome.

Don Linen, Trillmatic

Smooth production and an even smoother vocal delivery (Linen’s flow induces Curren$y-like chill-ness) is what drives Trillmatic. The 18 track mixtape remains consistent from beginning to end; Linen effortlessly changes his flow from chopped-and-screwed slowness, to rapid wordplay. And it all works to create an impressive release.

Standout track: “Always”

Yung Jet, Fly Af

“I ain’t even close to my prime you know / I got time to grow.” It’s a testament to the 18 year-old rapper’s already recognized talent. After releasing My first Flight Yung Jet returns with Fly Af, a tape that booms with vigorous boasts and head-bobbing beats. Jet deserves kudos for having a song dedicated to strippers that samples the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Off With Your Head” (for real, It’s great). Jet has an A$AP Rocky-esque delivery to him, but it is not a blatant imitation. Jet’s still trying to find his voice but he’s doing a good job so far.

Standout track: “The Anthem”

Fred The Godson, Contraband

Fred is very New York and it shows in his latest mixtape, Contraband. Although it starts off slow the tape kicks into high gear with “The City,” and rarely loses momentum. Fred has the boasts but it’s his personal narratives that hit hardest. “Would’ve Been” is motivational without sounding cliche. “Flow behind them bars / I could’ve been writing behind them bars.” Fred has been praised for his rhymes for quite some time and Contraband only reinforces why that is.

Standout track: “The World Would Keep On”

Travis Porter, Mr. Porter

Travis “turnt-up” Porter. If Porter does not refer to himself as such already, he probably should. Mr. Porter is an onslaught of upbeat, trap-on-trap-on-trap tracks with ridiculously enjoyable hooks (check out “Wassup”). Porter also succeeds with laid-back songs like “Baddest,” where he showcases his rapid flow. Also, Trinidad James’ ad-lib game is on another level (“4 My Niggas”). Porter is strongest in his hooks and his rhymes are adequate enough to drive each song to the end. Not too bad, Mr. Porter.

Standout track: “9 Outta 10”

OJ Da Juiceman, Juice World 2

Juice World 2‘s tape cover foreshadows just how crazy (in a good way) the mixtape is. OJ is essentially the illegitimate cousin of 2 Chainz and Future, due to his over-the-top and lol-inducing hooks (check out “Life On The Edge”). His high-pitched inflections contrast the tape’s production: horror movie synths and spaz-trap hi-hats and bass. Some songs take away from the tape (“Freestyle”) but OJ is here to trap and turn up. And Juice World 2 does just that.

Standout track: “Bandz In Yo Face”

Jason Lyric, JaysonLyricEverything

For a first mixtape JaysonLyricEverything is really good. Lyric, a Dallas, Texas-based rapper, has potential. He draws from his Texas predecessors (“Beginning of the N” could very well be an ode to Mike Jones, especially with its hook) while creating a new sound. At 21 tracks the tape could have been shorter. After “RepN” each song loses momentum and takes away from the tape as a whole.

Standout track: “Champagne Wishes”

Jae Retch, King Shit: The Sessions

King Shit is something of a compilation: a 15 track tape that derives from several unreleased Retch mixtapes. Retch can rap and although there are a few awkward tracks on King Shit (“Lord Have Mercy” and “Had It All”) he makes up for it with songs like, “Change The Game” and “Be A Man.” (The latter has one of the coolest samples in recent times.) Retch still has room for growth but dude is definitely on to something.

Standout track: “Change The Game” feat. Levi Lyric
