Run The Jewels – Jewel Runner Tour Mix (Mixed By Trackstar The DJ) [Audio x Download]

“We are a week into tour but better late than never: I present for your enjoyment the Jewel Runner Tour mixtape. I’ve dropped more merch than mixes lately–including my SKRATCH FAN snapback collabo with DJ Q-Bert and the RAPFANxRTJDJ t-shirt–but it all starts with the music, so I had to put something together for the tour. The project features tracks from all four acts, including Boots’ Meow the Jewels remix and RTJ’s late night television performance with TV On The Radio, as well as incredibly dope exclusives from Fashawn and Cuz Lightyear. Mike and El did some light hosting in classic WRTJ fashion, and the artwork was expertly handled by the great Ian Klarer, who also did the tour poster and last year’s tour mix cover, among other things. Stream or download the mix online, but if you’re a collector and want a physical copy you’ll have to come out to one of our tour dates and hit up the merch table, or catch me spinning at an afterparty. RTJ all day…salutes.” – Trackstar The DJ Peep the full tracklist after the break.

Ghost Stories: Ghostface Killah’s Storytelling Raps (Mixed By Trackstar The DJ) [Stream x Download]

Ghostface Killah is my favorite rapper of all time. Definitively and by far. One of the reasons he’s so great is his ability to weave stories and narratives like a new age Mark Twain in Wallabees. So imagine my delight at this mixtape by our very own Trackstar The DJ, chronicling Ghosts most memorable and compelling stories. It’s crazy to think that this tape has stories of project fights, hotel shootouts, church robberies, and dreams of Spongebob Squarepants. Don’t think of this as a mixtape. Think of it as a collection of stories from one of America’s greatest storytellers. – Quoth David D of the Smoking Section Download: Ghost Stories: Ghostface Killah’s Storytelling Raps

(Some Of) The Best Of Rick Rubin [Mixtape]

When Rubin showed up in Jay-Z’s series of Samsung commercials, social media was abuzz wondering who the old white guy was and, to our surprise, a lot of people didn’t have the slightest clue who the legendary figure was. Not only was he hanging out on the couch during Jay’s TV spots, Rubin also showed up in the 25th hour to executive produce on Kanye’s Yeezus. So that’s two of the largest names in rap calling on one bearded old guy to have a hand in their work. Yet, so many people remained unaware of him? And like that, our brains were activated, led by Trackstar. Writing on Rubin’s history and contributions to not only rap but music in general would require an encyclopedia worth of words and pages. Plus, there’s Wikipedia to break down all of his work since 1982. His founding of Def Jam alongside Russell Simmons might be the most recognizable feather in his cap but he wasn’t just an exec. He was an instrumental force and sound behind nascent recordings by the Beastie Boys, LL Cool J and Run-DMC, all of which were early education for budding rap nerds like Trackstar. But Rubin’s works didn’t end when he left Def Jam, his own label, Def American, or the head job at Columbia Records. Rick has HITS under his belt (so many, his production credits have a Wiki of their page own) and they span across multiple genres and decades. And that’s why this tape was billed
