Rapmullet: The Early Years...Big Chew Version
So we want to give you a written account of the early Rapmullet years. Where it came from and how it developed. Its probably going to be a long read as both Dimez and myself will be contributing to this piece, most likely a two part story. I’m going to give you the history behind the start of the site technically and Dimez will give you more behind the scenes stuff after we first took off....

Download: DJ Crazy Chris - Apocamix Now
This is one of the early Crazy Chris mash-up mixtapes. You can hear the potential in this one compared to years later when his projects were supremely polished. This is the rough cut of what would come later on. The concept was pretty much hip hop mashed with Vietnam/anti-war music of that time period. He pulls it off and I’m gonna be honest, with 55 tracks, this was a bitch to track out...

Download: Mick Boogie - The Big Picture
I don’t have many Mick Boogie CDs laying around but for some reason I held onto this one. Suffice it to say Mick was once the undisputed mid-west mixtape king. Dude put in some serious mixtape work which catapulted him to where he is today. Like we always use to say on the Mullet, mixtapes are the foundation and if done right can and will bring you to another level. This CD right here got...

Feedback: Camiliano - Thoughts Become Words, Words...
First impression of the project as a whole can be summed up in 3 words: grown man music. We’re both from the same generation so as a grown man I can appreciate what you have to say and can relate. Your lyrics are the most introspective I heard from you ever. You get to a certain age and start reflecting on your life. The peaks, the valleys, bad decisions and the end results that give you...

Play It By Ear...
I have an 11 year old daughter. She loves her cell phone. I took it away for a month till she brought some of her grades up. It impacted her “social life” greatly or so she says. Now that she has it back, every weekend its all about friends. I watched her last Saturday call damn near every friend in her phone trying to find something to do. Then when nobody was around that immediate...

Download: DJ Kool Kid - The Diesel
The Diesel series was arguably Kook Kid’s best and most creative. Big Dev was a driving force behind that tho and it showed. I remember they used to have this portable studio thing and he would run up on MCs to get an exclusive freestyle. Cats doing what they had to do to stand out. Kool Kid put in quality work over the years and carved out a nice niche for himself.

A DJ Crazy Chris Sighting? Yup sort of...
So a few people were talking about DJ Crazy Chris who used to be a staple member of the Rapmullet community. Well I reach out to him thru email to see how he was doing and he got back to me the other day. He’s not making any more mixtapes but he channeled that creativity into his new Puppet Theater that he and some friends opened over a year ago. If there was one person on Rapmullet who...

Download: DJ Bijal - I Love You
Bijal was an early Rapmullet supporting going back to 2004. This was probably his best mixtape too. The Rapmullet community def pulled his card tho because Bijal was of the “fake it till you make it” mentality and well he just didn’t live up to the hype he was manufacturing back then. Regardless this is a well put together CD and considering its Valentines day when else can I...

Download: DJ Ayers & DJ Eleven - The Glamorous...
You know I love me some 80s and Ayers and Eleven might be the best at it with in that genre. I gave you The Glamorous Life so its only right to come back with part 3. Any mixtape that has Jerry and Ollies “Breakin” is the shit. Don’t front you know you wanna pop and lock. What stands out to me about the mix itself is the flow. Different tempos throughout but it works to...

Download: DJ Rukiz - Boyz N The Hood
Found this today while I was looking for new joints to post. Rukiz is from Rhode Island and made a name for himself throughout New England. Rukiz had a great run with mixtapes for a minute. He kept a nice balance of blends, new shit, best ofs ect. This is one of those “best ofs” so to speak. This CD brings me back to a prosperous time for mixtapes too…peep all the mixtape...

Review: Curren$y - Here
I love projects like this. 5 tracks, no filler all potent joints and he’s not scared to rhyme over some old beats either. Not only that Curren$y always seems to have perfect timing. Remember timing? Its the difference between a project getting a buzz, keeping a buzz or getting absolutly no buzz. The difference between fucking a hot bitch or going home to beat off in a dirty sock. Who drops...

Review: Hevehitta & DJ Unexpected - Poetic...
You know Big Chew had to crash the Poetic Prophets party with a proper mixtape review. Truth be told I coughed up the $3 just so I could hear Un do an intro. I fuck with Nas and Mobb Deep tho, who doesn’t? So you say to yourself. Self, how many times can I listen to Mobb Deep and Nas? Well you listen to this project because we got some blends, we got some rarities and some breaks. Breaks?...

Review: Chuuwee & Sundown - The Millennium Falcon
Picture Princess Leia in her prime laying on her back buck naked and you’re about to put the tip of your dick in her pussy…that’s almost like listening to this project. Obviously I’m taking some in her prime Leia pussy over this music but Chuuwee and Sundown brought it all to the table with The Millennium Falcon. I can’t say I ever heard of Sundown before this...

Download: Rapmullet.com, Big Mike, Scram Jones, DJ...
This was Rapmullet’s first CD that dropped in 2005. Featured nothing but skilled DJs, including Scram Jones (who is a skilled DJ as well as producer and MC). If you know Rapmullet’s history you know we were champions of blends and remixes and we tried to shine the light on anything worthy at the time. To say we learned a lot about the mixtape game from this one CD would be an...
