Mixtape: Simplex (@Simply_Complex) -The Definition: Epic “Sim-PLEX consists of two band members, Marx & Jazz. Before Sim-PLEX, they were solo Hip-Hop acts who later decided to team-up after meeting in college. The name Sim-PLEX derives from two words, Simple and Complex, which explains their character (Simple) and mind set (Complex). Inspired by various artists such as Outkast, Gnarls Barkley, The Fugees, N.E.R.D, and Coldplay (just to name a few) Sim-PLEX provides a “breath of fresh air” to those who appreciate music as an art form. The two band members are currently located in Baltimore, MD and with Baltimore’s lack of acceptance to new concepts, the duo has fought through adversity and ridicule just to try and open the city’s ears to their sound. They have done way more than succeeded in doing so, with more than 15 different shows under their belt in just 3 months time at one point. They have also been featured on numerous blogs/websites such as: herfection, DDotOmen, AnmlHse, GlobalGrind, readconvention, etc. After their first two projects (“…Sim-PLEX is not a word” & “The All That & Thensome” miniMIXTAPE) created a worthy buzz after hitting the internet and the streets of the DMV, NYC, & Philly, the duo is working on their 3rd project due out in late 2009 or early 2010. There’s none other comparable to the type of music they are providing with their conceptual songs and hidden messages. With Sim-PLEX creating their own musical lane, they are definitely the ones to be looking out for in the years to come.” Taken from the official Simplex Site Their song, Where Did She Go, has been on repeat on my Ipod since the release on their newest Mixtape The Definition: Epic. Below is a youtube video of the song! Very dope. Get the whole mixtape here.

Music: R.I.P. Tribute to Stack Bundles (ALL of his Mixtapes)

Stack Bundles was an amazingly underrated MC that left the earth too soon. On June 11th 2007, his life was taken. Bundles was on his way to fame, signing to Jim Jones’ Brydgang Records just a couple months prior to his murder. In celebration of his life, I have posted all of his mixtapes.I hope that you have even a fraction of the excitement that I did when I hear this guy rhyme. He will not be forgotten!
