With the mixtape becoming a dedicated part of hip-hop today, no rapper worth his ilk hasn't released one. I think even Obama has a mixtape coming out soon, I hear DJ Green Lantern is producing. The mixtape craze has even bled into the rock world and JJ may have put out the best one so far. Their 2010 tongue-in-cheek mixtape embraces everything a good mixtape is supposed to be. Most hip-hop mixtapes borrow tracks from rock bands...while JJ borrows music from hip-hop artists. It's fun, clever, and trailblazing. Even with a serious tone, the band is as playful as their hip-hop influences. With a full album finally hitting, we get to enjoy them in full stride.
Here are the 11 Best Songs By JJ:
- Things Will Never Be The Same Again (JJ No. 2)
- Let Them (let them)
