Panic – Everything Burns (Free Mixtape)

Panic DMS recently dropped a free mixtape called “Everything Burns” which kinda flew under the radar. Which is a shame because Panic rips through the thirteen tracks like an animal. Some beats are originals same are jacked from other MCS, he destroys them all either way. Listen to a track like “Violence”, “The Illest Kid” and “Bleed” to hear what I’m talking about. His official debut cd “A Beautiful Mind” will drop on Danny Diablo‘s ILL ROC Records later this year.

Olde York – Shallow World CD (Review)

Olde York return with a new cd called “Shallow World”. Three years after their debut album “Empire State” which was released on Countdown Records.

This can also be contributed to the excellent production by Mike Dijan (Breakdown, Skarhead, Crown Of Thornz, Sai Nam) and mixing / mastering by Dean Baltulonis (who has worked with everybody from Agnostic Front to Converge to Danny Diablo).
