Mixtape Drops Tonight
That’s right people, the mixtape drops tonight. I’m not sure of the exact time, but it will be between 10 PM EST and 12 AM EST.

Tha Initiation: Volume 1 Single
I’m a few days late on this, but I’ve decided to release a “single” for this mixtape.
Click below to download the song (Rapidshare Link Only).

The final mixtape will be available at multiple download sites, but Rapidshare is the only provider I’m using for this single. It’s my own blend of Amerikan Gangster by Public Enemy.
Once again, I would like to thank the sponsors who donated to this project. Hopefully the above track will be proof that their contributions didn’t go in vain. Our sponsors cover a wide array of subjects, from a great blog for music gossip and rumors to free mixtape hosting and beyond. We even have the rock community and the ring tone scene helping to support this mixtape. And, of course, you can’t forget my friends over at the music portal for sponsoring the cause.
Mixtape release date is still October 20th, 2007. Nothing has changed and nothing will change.

New Equipment
Just got my new equipment in the other day. One retro Pioneer CT-F2121 and one retro BOSS Dr. Rhythm DR-660 drum machine.
As far as the upcoming mixtape goes, all is as planned and I’ll be making some more posts relating to it within the coming few days.
Minor Mixtape Change
Due to a throat issue, I won’t be able to record anything for the “Who’s Your Girl” remix on the mixtape. Instead, I will be mixing an acapella or two into the track.
I will update the cover and info page once I know what acapella I’m going to put into the track (still going through a few candidates).
Even with this small issue, we are still set for an October 20, 2007 release.
