HiPNOTT Records delivers Vol. 2 of their two-part 2010 Takeover free mixtape series. Presented by HipHopDX.com and KevinNottingam.com, this 22-track lyrically driven hip-hop montage is skillfully mixed by DJ Mark-1, who also created the intro, and displays a combination of emerging label signees alongside several hip-hop heavyweights. While Vol. 1 hit listeners with an aggressive trunk worthy hip-hop energy, Vol. 2 provides its antithesis with a more laid back, thought provoking, headphone hip-hop sound.
HiPNOTT Records 2010 Takeover Vol. 2 talent includes ArtOfficial, Amor Jones, DXA, Emilio Rojas, Epsilon Project, Hawdwerk & Jansport J, L.E.G.A.C.Y., Mach Five, MaG, Stevie Crooks, and Tunji, as well as HiPNOTT artists Cymarshall Law, Has-Lo, E Reece, Spectec & Amiri, Jermiside & Danny Diggs, WEB and The Movement Fam (Cee & Bekah, Notion, Tommy Gunnz).
"The artists that we work with and those signed to HiPNOTT have the same things in common -- they want to be put on, they want the masses to hear their voice, they want to share their story," HiPNOTT Records COO, Kareem Fort said. "We created the 2010 Takeover mixtapes to showcase a variety of artists who each have their own unique interpretation of what hip hop is to them, and we stand behind their perspective 100%."

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, we feel it’s our job here at QN5 to make sure that you have what you need to ensure that the day or night goes smoothly. We proved it with 2008’s Baby Blue For Pink, and we’re about to do it again.
So we’re proud to give you WINK: Something Substantial, blended by the UK’s Dub MD and hosted by Kno (of CunninLynguists) and Billy Bee Whitums. WINK takes listeners on a 10-year journey of Substantial’s music, focusing mainly on his his love/relationship songs. From throwback classics like the Nujabes-produced "Eclipse" to 3 BRAND NEW EXCLUSIVE TRACKS you won’t find on any other releases.
WINK features production by Chew Fu, Kno (CunninLynguists), Nujabes, DJ Deckstream, Tonedeff, Marcus D, Algorythm, Kokayi, Joe.D and more. Guest appearances include Eric Roberson, Extended Famm, Sweep, JsouL, Gods’Illa and Steph the Saphic Songstress; just to name a few.
DJ Skee & a.Fam Entertainment are proud to present the release of Kida‘s new project, The Endemic.
The project, which took roughly 14 months to create, was a labor of love between Kida and executive producer TheRealFocus... "At one point I thought the album was complete, but Focus thought it was "good" when it could be great," says Kida.
With original production from Focus, 9th Wonder, DJ Khalil, !llmind, Jake One, Mell & D, Seige, and Wyldfyer, the project shines in its mission to show hip hop listeners that there is another side of West Coast music.
DJ Rasta Root says that this mix was a long time in the making. "I didn't want to do a Dilla mix just because he had passed away. I always seem to include a Slum [Village] or Dilla produced track in my DJ sets, so I felt like it was time to put all my favorite tracks on one disc that I would listen to. It just so happens that I am able to share that with the world." Roots also speaks about what can be expected on the mix, "I feel like my strength is mixing and blending, so that what you will get....one seamless blend from start to finish.....no gimmicks, no talking....just DILLA".
