Before we even heard the newest from Clifford Lidell.. We kept hearing through the local DJ channel (GMO) about how good it was and that we needed to put it on the site ASAP. Well, we have had a chance to hear it and its very very good! To say that Clifford blends different genres in this mixtape is an understatement he takes  the best of almost every genre and merges them all into one. I can honestly say that this is the best mixtape I have heard in 2009.

As quoted from Clifford himself:

The mixtape, as promised, presents a wider variety of music than my older releases, digging deeper than ever into some of the more entertaining, unexpected, and often times embarrassing layers of contemporary music history. It’s intentionally meant to drift through seas of nostalgia and pop culture, all while keeping in unlikely harmony and mood.
