This is dope

Yooo! What up all DTer’s! This is a small segment of how I came around to listening to and taking part in what has become a culture named Hip-Hop. Growing up with two older brothers that were living the culture, it felt like I was living a Hip-Hop dream, yet unknowingly I was [...]

Wow, it seems like only a few months ago that we were talking about DT hitting the big five zero, but here we are on the cusp of 100,000! I won’t bore you with another rundown of the hits on the big number (go look for yourself, its largely disappointing), but double0negro got the 50,000 [...]

First off, apologies to anyone who has emailed or messaged me, I’ve been totally off DT for a while (more than two weeks… a record!) because I’ve been away on holiday. I don’t know if any of you have heard about this big old volcano that has erupted in Chile? Well, I’m quite close to [...]

How do you boil 8000 tracks down into one mixtape? Well, It ain’t easy (and it ain’t altogether fair), but KK3 pulls together 50 of the nicest emcees and beats posted on DT in March 2008 to make a 70 minute mix of some of hottest unsigned talent in hip hop! OK, ok, first of [...]

This morning I was reading some newspaper thing about hip hop and emcees, and the basic idea of the story was saying that emcees are typically insecure.

So I go to DT this morning to have a little look at the chart and see what’s up and I flick through the top 10 beats. Something strikes me: the titles of your beats are all kinda fucked up. Here’s todays top 10:
“CRANK IT FULL”
“AK 47″
“Addicted to Powder”
“Get Cake*MF*”
“GANGSTZ ONLY”
“1st Gun Shot”
“ON MY GRIND [...]

Word up my DEETZ!!! KKRUNCH2 is here!
Firstly, you can hear it on the DT player but make sure you do DOPE UP THE MIX TRACK HERE so we can get it frontpage.
You can download the whole mix for your cheap ipod rip-off thing DOWNLOAD HERE (right click and ’save as’ to download - if you [...]

Wassup DT peoples! DT kindly asked me if I’d write a few post on their blog, so here I am. I’m gonna be posting all sorts of stuff - interviews, 101s (promoting and beefing coming up!), having a look at some of the raw talent we got… you’ll see, but trust that I’m gonna approach [...]

Damn.. what a year its been! Dopetracks is still less than 1 years-old, but we’ve grown so much since our launch in April of 2007. We have you to thank you, our loyal members, for making the last 8 months so exciting and fun for us.
2008 is going to be all about you, the Emcees, [...]

Here are a few quick tips to avoid the blog email inbox blues:
