I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death!


Nyquil Mixtape of the Week – (noun) A group of five (5) songs that you are currently sleeping on. Either you've never heard them or forgot how much you really love them. Regardless, you need to brush the dust off your CD rack and play them or add them to your collection.

1. "Keep Your Hands High" – Tracey Lee ft. Notorious B.I.G., Many Facez
Incredible Biggie performance on this surprisingly decent Tracey Lee concept album.


2. "Betta Off Dead" – Onyx, All We Got Iz Us
Classic hardcore Onyx sound on their underrated second album


3. "Think About It" – Snoop Dogg, Blue Carpet Treatment
Snoop bringing his best since he was standing on that record store in LBC


4. "Ghost Writer" – Mad Skillz, Unknown
The best part of the song is trying to figure out who he's talking about


5. "Switch" – Lupe Fiasco, Unknown
Lupe's lyrical prowess makes you forget who's song this originally was (who?)


Come back every week for a new mixtape!

Yes "Switch" is the single reason why i got put on to Lupe. I only heard it one time and I was on the phone calling like 10 people trying to put them on to it.

People really need to go get that 2nd Onyx album too. If you a fan of the mad face invasion you will not be disappointed.
