On this week's Tale of the Tape, All Hip-Hop takes a look at the finest sounds on the mixtape circuit. Let's get into it.

There are few better at the blend tape than Mick Boogie. He blessed the masses with Biggie’s Unbelievable and caught the ear of the industry. His latest blend, Viva La Hova is one of the smoothest mash ups to come out since The Grey Album; yes I said it. Combining both the sensibilities of two of the biggest music acts in the world, Coldplay and Jay-Z, each track has an organic feel. Some of the standouts may include “XYZ”, “Cold Success”, and “Ignorant Science”, but the entire tape is done close to perfection. Other DJ’s should take note with their bland blends; the Commissioner smacked the game with this one.

Leaders Of The New Cool
A note to all DJ’s and button pushers. Your name too can appear on this list almost every week if you drop spicy tapes more often then I restart my computer. Leaders Of The New Cool happens to be a combination of many of the “new school” artists you have heard over the last few months. Charles Hamilton (“It’s”), B.O.B (“Generation Lost”), D-Black (“Top Of The World”), Tanya Morgan (“Stay Cool”) , The Cool Kids (“Delivery Man”), amongst others deliver a tape full of tracks that remind you why they are currently getting everyone’s attention. Sit back and get ahead of the curve.
