Wordsmith Goes “Jackin’ for Beats” on New Mixtape Leaks (Listen/Download)

Posted by Richard on 05/18/10 | Filed under Downloads, Wordsmith, Jackin for Beats

Jackin' for beats: a time-honored tradition that's been passed down through the ages - well, OK, the last couple decades, but my point stands. On these leaked cuts off his forthcoming, 2DopeBoyz-sponsored mixtape, the appropriately-titled Jackin' for Beats: Wordplay Edition, B-more representative Wordsmith and DJ Del become the latest of countless artists to follow Ice Cube's example, ransacking, pillaging and plundering the game for old grooves to make fresh and new.

Unfortunately, I'm not positive precisely from whence Word jacked the beats for these two tracks. "I Might Need Security," a guitar-laced joint which finds the emcee dropping some of his head-spinning-est flows in recent memory, originates from a track from Windy City motormouth Twista, but the the laid-back, reggae-informed "Suplex to the Beat" doesn't even have an artist attached - can anyone help me out here?

In any case, fans can get their free streaming and download fix below. Like what you're hearing? Grab a copy of the project when it hits 2Dope's pages on June 29.
