The big homie Epiphany from Little Rock drops his new project, Such Is Life. The album, co-hosted by DJBooth.net, is a creative effort whose foundation lies in its ability to relate to those who refuse to stop “living” despite the awards they may receive or the wounds they may suffer. Download link and tracklist is below:

With Epiphany handling mic duties throughout, Such Is Life also features seamless features from Justin Paul, Bijoux, Osyrus Bolly, Joshua and Gina Gee. Production and beats are provided by Apollo Lane, BlazeBeatz, Kwestion, Siminima Production, Don Key. Genetics Inc. and Tonedef. Mastered by MoonRize Mastering.

Also adding live instrumentation are the likes of Bo “Warwick” Floyd, Lucas “Cool Hand” Murray, Joshua, Rodney Block and Verenda Lowe.

• Epiphany – Such Is Life (Mixtape)

To follow up from one of last year’s most slept on album’s, Saigon continues his Warning Shots mixtape series with the third installment. The majority of the production is handled by the legend Just Blaze while the features are minimal to Joe Budden and others. Download link below:

• Saigon – Warning Shots 3: One Foot In The Grave (Mixtape)

My little 16 year old homie can rap! Someone important out there give this kid a listen! It’s his 3rd FULL length project…not many kid artists can say that, let alone adult rappers. Give it a listen at the link below:

• MC Graves – Job Title (Mixtape)

I won’t lie, Future’s grown on me. He’s been given a lot of love from some of Atlanta’s ‘old head’ artists such as Ludacris and T.I., but homie has been grinding on his own for a bit. His newest mixtape ‘Astronaut Status’ is set to drop Thursday, January 12. Is there a better way to get fans hyped up for a new tape by showing them old clips of Michael Jordan hitting game winners and hip-hop mogul Diddy in his prime? You tell me.

If you read the tracklisting and thought classic mixtape, then you thought correctly. If you haven’t heard the tape yet, you need to download it immediately and listen to it because it’s good. It’s really, really good. The tape is complete with dope Rozay sounding beats, crazy hooks and verses, and an amazing list of features. It’s not even 10 days into the new year of 2012 and Ross has set the bar extremely high for any rappers that are trying to compete with him in 2012. Chess, not checkers. God Forgives, I Don’t, Rozay’s new album is coming soon. If he gave out this mixtape worth of dope music for free – imagine what he’s going to cook up in the studio when he’s going to charge us for it?! Download link for the project and music video for Stay Schemin’ with Drake and French Montana are below.

• Rick Ross – Rich Forever (Mixtape)

if 2011 was a sign of things to come for the hip hop game, then 2012 might the greatest year in the history of hip hop with so many new artists, new groups, features, ect.

Easily the 2011 Artist of the Year, Rick Ross was planning on releasing his newest studio album ‘God Forgives, I Don’t‘ at the end of December but suffered two seizures and it was ultimately pushed back. So in the meantime he chose to drop a mixtape — Rich Forever — which is set to drop tomorrow at 3:05 ET.

This is the official album cover for Rick Ross’ upcoming mixtape, Rich Forever. Ross himself said he made enough records during his trip to Africa that could produce a mixtape, and it turns out he’s not going to eat his words. Via Live Mixtapes, the tape is set to drop January 6, 2012 at 3:05PM EST. Better believe I’ll be glued to my laptop at that point.

When Tip got out of prison this last (and hopefully the last) time, many wondered if we’d see the real T.I. again. Not the one who left us with that below average album before heading to prison on gun charges. But after dropping his newest mixtape on New Year’s, I think it’s safe to say that this is just a preview of many things to come. From the beats to the featured artists (Jeezy, Meek Mill, Pusha T, ect.), this is easily album quality. Download link and tracklist is below:

As just a reminder for when his album Live From The Kitchen drops, Memphis trap-trapper Yo Gotti put out a real banger with his latest mixtape. Although there are 3 or 4 songs on the tape that are interviews, the other tracks, for the most part, are ones you’d have on repeat for a couple days.

As for his album, Mr. Cocaine Muzik himself decided to give us a sneak-peak at the tracklist:

These trailers got me hyped! I think T.I. might have a classic mixtape for the people. F*ck Da City Up is releasing New Years Eve.
