I talk jewels and spit diamonds...

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. “Cashmere Thoughts” – Jay-Z
Just Listen. The wordplay is so crazy.

2. “Operation Lockdown” – Heltah Skeltah
I loved when BCC was in full swing. Timberlands never fit better.

3. “Love Hangover” – Kidz in the Hall ft. Estelle
The extended metaphor is so dope in this song. Naledge did his thing.

4. “Say What’s Real” – Drake
He completely murders this Kanye beat. I’m officially put on.

5. “Mafia Music” – Rick Ross
Yeah this song is the definition of this mixtape cuz I was sleeping for real!!!

Come back every week for a new mixtape!
