All tracks produced by: Max I Million

"Maxtape II" is the long awaited powerhouse sequel to Max I Million´s 2010 release "The Maxtape". It boasts exclusive material, aswell a selection of the Swedish producers prime material released over the past decade and features Hip Hop legends such as C.L. Smooth, Chuck D, Edo G, Bishop Lamont and J-Ro to name a few. 

The major difference is this composition is elegantly put together as a seamless DJ mix by the duo Create & Devastate - and released physically on cassette in association with Insert Tapes!

The story begins 10 years ago when DJ Devastate (R.I.P) founded Counterweight Records, in close collaboration with Max. Enthusiastically, the two started working on the project, which abruptly came to an end with Dev´s tragic passing in 2018. In the years following, Max I Million has carried the torch, putting out work continuously to honor the label´s original vision and keeping the legacy alive. 

When contemplating how to materialize "Maxtape II", Max finally got the idea to bring Dev´s old partner DJ Create on board. He picked up where DJ Devastate left off and the rest is soon-to-be history!

With exquisite cover art design by Jonas Hilmersson, one of the originators of Counterweight Records, this mixtape embodies the expression "Coming full circle". Let the tape roll!

Raw Underground HipHop Mix

A song I released a few days back onto YouTube & Bandcamp.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

I remember back in the days where the kicks and the snares made the hits
Stories told in bars, like we're sharing drinks and spliffs,
Before Spotify and YouTube views hit.
Where you'd buy a CD just to hear your fav's new shit.
Back when 50 and Nelly had radio stations lit
‘Hot in Herre,’ ‘In Da Club,’ we were bakin’ with it.
The days raising waves that I always float on slow,
So how did that era affect me as I was growing, bro?

Well for me, I was a kid before the mad flows,
Bumpin' Eminem's albums on my iPod Nano.
I'd get lost in the music while I was at the park,
Sittin' on the swings, I was daydreamin' 'till dark.
Instrumentals hittin' as hard as the truth did,
Whether it was the Eminem Show or the Blueprint.
Every now and then, I'd reminisce with amazement,
As I wonder what's next with this generation?

[Hook]

It's a new style, it's a new day.
Each generation will have their own way,
To earn the gold and silver, all the glory.
To tell their stories like it's Balamory.

I don't understand, but I try to adapt,
To these new trends and new styles of rap.
I feel like an old soul with some new code,
As I observe the game, from coast to coast.

[Verse 2]

Now it's all TikTok and Spotify streams,
Outlandish lyrics turning to tomorrow's memes.
Easier to connect and meet certain criterias,
Just take a look at what's on your social media.
Scroll through your feed, doesn't matter the site's title
Bet you'll find a new song that's going viral,
Be it lyrics, the beat, a dance, the artist,
The music video, the feature, whatever hits hardest.

Honestly? I don't fully understand it.
So much has changed, some others cannot stand it.
I mean, you got mumble rap, Lofi to look at,
Emo Rap, Jersey club, Jerk Drill, Hoodtrap.
Face tats, Xanny bars and some cups of lean.
Are we not satisfied with gettin' love and green?
And I'm not tryin' to hate on it, I just feel confused,
To all these genres and all these different points of view.

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

When I started, I admit I spoke with savagery
Like mainstream equaled awful automatically.
Talkin' like the mainstream stuff would never hit;
If it wasn't underground, then I wouldn't give a shit.
In hindsight, maybe envy was hitting deeper,
Maybe that was why I was talkin' bitter and cheaper,
Like 'that isn't REAL rap, that won't be respected!'
But then I learned that 'real rap' is subjective.

You can have opinions, you can keep them for long,
But that DOESN'T mean you're right or you're wrong.
It's just a matter of taste, so you post what you post,
I'll nod my head, even if I don't get it, you know?
If that's the stuff you're into, then rock it proudly,
I'll try and understand these new things around me.
Enjoy these new styles, they're what makes life swell.
As for these new genres? Hell, maybe I'll try 'em myself.

[Final Hook]

It's a new style, it's a new day.
Each generation will have their own way,
To earn the gold and silver, all the glory.
To tell their stories like it's Balamory.

I don't understand, but I try to adapt,
To these new trends and new styles of rap.
So do what you do, and do it the most.
And I'll keep on watching from coast to coast.

Peace Everyone…..

Today is February 7th, 2013….which means it is the birthday of one of the greatest Hip Hop Producers of all time, James Yancey aka J Dilla.  Today he would've been 39 years old.  It is incredible that every month of February for the last 8 years that Dilla's life & music is celebrated around the whole world.  It is also bittersweet because he was taken from us in such an early age when it looked like he was really get ready to take the world by storm.  I've been very lucky & blessed to be part of his close circle of friends when he moved to Los Angeles.  Not only was he was a talented individual and one of the nicest & humble guy I ever met, he was also a private person…..you definitely don't want to get on his nerves…LOL!!

I know there's a lot of Dilla Tribute mixes out there, and me personally, I don't think there's anyone that can out top a Dilla mix that was made by my fellow Beat Junkie & the 3rd Member of Jaylib, the Funky President himself, J.Rocc.  The only one who can possible come close would our good friend, Houseshoes.  I already made 2 mixes a few years ago, but I was inspired again to work on another one.  I tried to finish the mix late last night but got real tired….I just finally finished this mix before the day was over.  I definitely was trying not to repeat songs like I did on my previous Dilla mixes but sometimes you can't help going back to his classic catalogue.  Anyways, here's my third installment of my "J Dilla Whatupdoe" mixes, a 30 minute vibe mix.  Unfortunately, we also lost another Musical legend a few days ago….Mr. Donald Byrd, and i actually added the original "Think Twice" song to the mix as well as Dilla's version, in paying homage to the legendary musician.

Rest in Peace to Donald Byrd…..and Rest In Peace & Happy Birthday to one of the greatest….J Dilla.
