Album Download: Knifefight - Knifefight

Knifefight, made up of rapper Beans and Brooklyn producer Mux Mool, has a beauty of a free mixtape courtesy of Anticon.

The six-track effort comes with Mux Mool's calm digital footprint, syncing 80s funk grooves with drags of Euro-fused electro over Beans' hearty verses. The Anti Pop Consortium co-founder also teams up with the likes of Cities Aviv, Kool A.D., and Sub Con on several tracks, making it all the more important that you download it right now.

Antwon - In Dark Denim mixtape

Antwon, who received some healthy buzz in the last few months with "Living Every Dream" and "Automatic," has released his brand new In Dark Denim mixtape.

The 11-track mix, featuring production help with some familiar names like Cities Aviv, comes for free via Greenhead Music, which released the tape over at The FADER. While the production on the tape may be a little light and atmospheric at times, Antwon's verses hit hard, bringing up some fairly apt B.I.G. comparisons.

New Cities Aviv - Power Exchange

Memphis rapper Cities Aviv may not be one of the genre's more recognizable names, but he's been consistently creating original and inventive twists for the past few years. His newest, "Power Exchange," comes a few weeks after his Black Pleasure mixtape, which was also released for free on his Bandcamp page.

Stream and/or download "Power Exchange" below.

Stream Cities Aviv's mixtape 'Black Pleasure'

Experimental (and underrated) hip-hop act Cities Aviv debuted his entire Black Pleasure mixtape today, which is free to stream via his Bandcamp. The 15 track collection is, as you could expect, not a straight-forward mixtape. The vocals here are distorted, traced behind glorious ambient and new wave production. See for yourself below, or download the whole thing here.

New Cities Aviv - G A L L E R Y G U R L Z (produced by Star Slinger)

There's a frenetic pace to this brand new demo from rapper Cities Aviv, produced by newfound workaholic Star Slinger. The difficult to type titled "G A L L E R Y G U R L Z" doesn't even stretch to two minutes, and with so much going on there's barely enough room to breathe. Expect a cleaner version in the near future.
