Northern Author Mixtapes Vol. I

No real direction to this post here, but I thought I'd take an opportunity to upload some old old compilations I used to make for myself and friends.

Most of these are ones I made for myself back in the heady days of the Sony Discman. Creating 80minute long comps of classic old and new hip-hop to listen to on the bus trips into school, university and work.

Here's the first of many that I'll upload for everyone, some compilations have a few questionable choices in there to be honest but hey, these are what I listened to back in the day so fuck it.

Here's the first one, more to follow....

Sway - F64

Sorry, but after seeing this I couldn't NOT post this! Sway's F64 from the famed "freestyle" series at SBTV (DJ Gone) is five minutes of pure rapping.

He's also got a van.

Honestly though, in the UK OR the US, is there an emcee in 2010 that is making as many great tracks already this year, working as hard this year or dropping as much heat? If Sway is not world famous by the end of this year either Akon needs to be smacked like a bitch for not managing him right or the world has gone tits up like Lola Ferrari.
