Welcome to the first installment of a number of mixtapes BallerStatus.com will be releasing on a monthly to bi-monthly basis.
We've teamed up with out resident writer and rising producer-rapper, Tha Advocate, for the latest install of his Mic Check mixtape series. This is installment 9.5, hosted by Wu affiliate, Killah Priest.
Over the past month, we've received several submissions and only the best got put on, while others were turned down. Something Tha Advocate prides himself in while constructing these tapes.
"Mic Check Mixtapes is an alternative to this industry bullsh**," he said. "It showcases any artist that has something special to bring to the table -- lyrically, emotionally, clubby, whatever. There's no politics with Mic Check."
This first installment, titled Mic Check 9.5: Real Recognize Real, is free and so will the upcoming ones be as well. It features 40 tracks from underground and indie MCs who got something to prove, as well as a few brand new exclusive gems and freestyles as well.
Following this release, Tha Advocate and BallerStatus.com will be introducing the Digital Dynasty series -- with the first hosted by G-Unit's Hot Rod.
"Ballerstatus is an important part of the hip-hop community and it was only right to align for volume 9.5. It's also an appetizer to the Ballerstatus mixtape series, which is dropping a month later," says Advo. "This is a way for the Ballerstatus.com viewers, that happen to make music, to be a part of something so important in hip-hop."
For information about getting on the next tape, Digital Dynasty, hosted by G-Unit's Hot Rod, hit Tha Advocate at shadowfalinx@hotmail.com.
