Talk About - Marv Won

This week has been an amazing music week for Detroit. Honestly, there are so many mixtapes and projects dropping for the holidays that I can't even keep up. I originally had plans to review everything, but then I thought "How wack would that look?" I mean don't get me wrong, great look for Detroit hip-hop bad look for my blog (too much of one thing is blech.) so here are the top downloads for the week. Things that I have been bumping (hard) and I KNOW you need to have them.

First up is eLZhi's 'The Leftovers Unmixedtape'. To know me is to know I have developed this addiction to Slum Village, it's bad and I'm working on it. eLZhi released this last week (Friday I believe) and since then it has been in heavy rotation. Leftovers is exactly that; it's a compilation of features, unreleased tracks and a joint or two from way back when. There is no DJ, just music. (which may be why I love it so much). I don't think there's anything else to say except DOWNLOAD. The beats are awesome (production credits include Black Milk, DJ Dez and Jake One) and of course the lyrics are insane.

In short, I think you're up for some mighty fine 'Leftovers'.

Next up is Marv Won's 'Way of the Won LP.' Now some of you may know Marv Won as the rapper who ethered Charles Hamilton, battled Eminem in 8 Mile or killed Aye Verb in a battle for Grind Time (resulting in what is now known as #marvwonsmirk.) The LP is presented by DJ House Shoes, and is (from the way I understand it) a shelved joint Marv Won did a while ago. Nonetheless it's dope as sin. Features include Bilal and Danny Brown and production credits Black Milk, 14KT and House Shoes himself.

This is definitely one of my favorite downloads for the week and you should DOWNLOAD it too.

Finally we have Mac Miller, a 17-year-old kid from Pittsburgh with impressive skill. The first thing someone may think is great, another white kid rapping about blowing trees, but it's a lot more to this high school kid than that (and that was seen on his Jukebox mixtape with the song "Got a Clue"). I think Mac Miller has a pretty good career on his hands a little over a week ago he released the video for his single "Live Free" (peep down below).

Mac Miller may not be as seasoned as the two previously mentioned artists, but nonetheless he's definitely someone I think should grace your music library.
