"I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped..."

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. "Get Tha Fortune" – Cash Money Click
Thought the first time you heard him he was "Hollerin"? Nope. Ja Rule's debut was actually as a member of this group. Lyor saw him perform this song and signed him on the spot. Tough. Track.

2. "Testament" – Cormega
The forgotten member of the original Firm crew. Never really got the shine.

3. "My Name is D-Nice" – D-Nice
Dope.

4. "Can't Stop the Prophet" – Jeru the Damaja
I'm still not sure what's better, the song or the video. Thanks Youtube!

5. "Gone But Not Forgotten" – Juice, Tip of the Iceberg
Incredible creativity. Juice really does them justice – R.I.P to all of our fallen emcees.

Come back every week for a new mixtape!
