This 3rd installment features such a wide array of artists and sounds but mixes it all so tastefully. There aren’t many mixtapes where Trick Daddy and Toto sit so comfortably next to Marvin Gaye and Darius Rucker. Yeah, you read all that right.

TBT this week to Eleven’s smooth as silk “Soul 1” mixtape that’s been around for quite some time now. It still sounds great to this day primarily because of the classic nature of so much of the tracklist. Blended with ease as he’s well known for doing, Eleven drops essentials from Bobby Womack, Sade, Mary J. Blige, Lonnie Liston Smith, Outkast and more like it’s nothing. Late spring soulful vibes are always very real and this mix is well worth the revisit to tap right into that mindset. Stream and download are below.

#TBT DJ Eleven – 50 Minutes of Fresh
Posted: July 9, 2015 Filed under: DJ Eleven, TBT | Tags: DJ Eleven, TBT
As one of the most prolific producers ever in rap music, Mannie Fresh’s resume of tunes is relatively insane. His reign as the go-to in-house guy at Cash Money Records is arguably responsible for starting the careers of Lil Wayne, Juvenile, BG…as well as his own group in Big Tymers. While that Cash Money ship has long since sailed, Mannie Fresh has collaborated with a who’s who of the rap world and imagine my excitement when I came across Eleven’s mix from 2009 last night showcasing so much of this stellar catalog. This one is a must revisit ASAP. Stream and download are below.
