Since I haven't put out one of these suckers out in a while, I decided to go way back through the archives of my iTunes and dig up some gems. There's old shit! There's new shit! And as you can tell by now, the theme I blessed this mixtape was "hard hitting." Whether it's the beat, the lyrics, or what the song is about, these tracks will leave you with a black eye. Use this playlist to work out, rob people, lead rebellions, play CoD, or watch Monday Night Raw. Just make sure to get hype mofo!

1. Pharoah Monch - Simon Says: According to folklore, whenever this song came onto the speakers in a club, mad fights broke out. No kidding...
2. Flux Pavilion ft. Sway, P Money - Double Edge: Some dubstep for you fiends. I dig the further blending of genres these days though.
3. X-Ecutioners ft. M.O.P. - Let It Bang: One of the loudest emcees on the mic join some of the nastiest DJ's in Hip Hop.
4. Wu-Block - Stick Up Kids: This track flips a classic sample and adds some of the grimiest emcees your favorite rappers love.
5. Garcia ft. N.O.R.E. - 2 Gun Salute: Now known as P.A.P.I., N.O.R.E. joins Garcia (Winner of the Most Boring Rapper Name Ever), jumps on the most hype beat I've heard in ever. Seriously, this beat is dangerous.
6. Liva - Re-Up Gang Motivation: Remember the Re-Up Gang? Man, that group was awesome.
7. Dope Boy Esko ft. ill Camille - D.G.K.: I'm sure all of my white, suburban friends can relate.
8. Reek da Villain ft. Busta Rhymes, Lloyd Banks - Get Away Car Driving: These rhymes are pretty tough.
9. Slum Village ft. Rapper Big Pooh, Joe Scudda, T3 - Riot: I hate how much Slum Village isn't given shine on radio and mainstream media. These guys are so legit.
10. Dope Boy Esko ft. Kendrick Lamar, Scoe - Murda: Had to throw another Esko track on here because of the perfect West Coast gangbangin' beat.
11. Dag Savage - Twilight: I'll listen to almost anything Exile produces. Johaz holds it down on the mic.
12. The Underachievers - New New York: Part of the Beast Coast Movement, this duo is gonna be around for a while. Check out their new mixtape, Indigoism.
13. Raz Fresco & Chill Will - salmonILLA: Man, the Bakers Club's beats are a perfect homage to the Golden Era. And these guys make rapping about looking fly cooler than actually looking fly.
14. Chill Moody - Suicide Barz II: Kick it in the clutch music.
15. Bad Religion - Fuck You: Sometimes you gotta just say "Fuck You."
16. Timeless Truth ft. Sean Price - True Grit: RAW
17. Yahweh - Expensive $hit: Shout out to Andreas for showing me this group. Chitown, represent.
18. Paul Banks ft. High Prizm - Trace: So Paul Banks of Interpol made an instrumental/Hip Hop mixtape and called it Everybody On My Dick Like They Supposed To Be. Some of it is weird and some of it is dope. I'm just honestly confused as to who is on his dick, besides maybe his girlfriend. Or boyfriend. I don't know him like that.
19. Small Professor ft. Elzhi - A Remix I Did Of Deep By Elzhi: Elzhi has sick flows and this beat is bananas. Yes, the fruit.
