“Flip” Dope Beats From Shane Eli & Get Cool Sh*t From DJBooth x ReverbNation (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/31/12 | Filed under Downloads, Mixtapes, Shane Eli

I know there are a lot of RefinedHype Nation citizens, and frequenters of the mothership, that are rappers in their own right (some of them pretty damn good), and I know rappers are always starving for dope/non-shitty beats, and I know they're too poor to pay for dope/non-shitty beats, so.....

I Wish Emilio Rojas’ Mixtape Was “Point Break”, but “Breaking Point” Still Dope (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/26/12 | Filed under Downloads, Mixtapes, Emilio Rojas

For the past few months whevenever I heard about Emilio Rojas' upcoming album "Breaking Point" I got dyslexically excited that the project would reference "Point Break". But thankfully for the rest of the world Emilio's far more interested in producing dope hip-hop albums than making '90s movie references

The Sickness: From Chip tha Ripper to Jam Master Jay, Today’s Top Downloads

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/23/12 | Filed under Downloads, Mixtapes, Rick Ross, Chip Tha Ripper, Elle Varner

I can keep it real with RefinedHype Nation, right? Good. In that case, I shot up some bad Malayisan heroin ate some bad sushi last night and I'm moving slower than Rick Ross on sand. I just don't have it in me to write about some of the dope shit that dropped today, so I thought I should at least give you the abbreviated version. From Chip tha Ripper to Jam Master Jay, here ya go.

J The S is Apocalyptically Dope on “The Last Days” (Mixtape Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/19/12 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Mixtapes, J The S

No, of course I'm not posting J The S' new album because we're both from Boston and us Celtics fans have to stick together. I would never do something so blatantly biased in the name of hometown pride. Ok, so actually I would, but thankfully "The Last Days" sounds so dope I can freely hype it without feeling like a homer.

NSFW-Apalooza: Download T.Shirt’s “The F*ck” Album x Watch “P*ssy” Video

As you may have noticed, I'm not exactly shy about using profanity, so I have to give it up for T. Shirt's new album "The F**k". Best known to RefinedHype Nation for dope videos like "Ode to Raekwon" and "24 Frames", T-Shirt's not only dropped off a dope project, but he's also allowed me to post an absolutely not NSFW video like 'P**sy". Download and watch...

Heems’ “Nehru Jackets” Mixtape is Either Hipster Wackness or Pure Dopeness (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/18/12 | Filed under Downloads, Mixtapes, Das Racist, Heems

There's no one I have more of a love/hate relationship with than Das Racist. I have moments when I think they're the best thing to happen to hip-hop since Rosa Acosta, and moments when they make me want to punch a kitten in the face, and Das Racist frontman Heems' new "Nehru Jackets" mixtape is only complicating things.

While while Schoolboy's still working on building a foundation of his own, that doesn't mean the man's a Murphy Lee. Schoolboy's got a sounds a vision that's similar to Kendrick but ultimately his own, and to prove it he drops off his new "Habits & Contradictions" album. Listen and download...

RefinedHype Nation Unite! Tino “The Odyssey: Lost at Sea” Mixtape (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/16/12 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Mixtapes, Tino

I'm not going to lie to you, some of the greatest people on the interwebs are citizens of RefinedHype Nation, but their skills go well beyond the keyboard. Case in point, Tino (aka BitCloud7), who in addition to being a top MBOW guesser just so happens to be a legit emcee. Listen and download...

SMKA is Giving You a Bunch of Dope Beats, Take Them (Mixtape Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/10/12 | Filed under Downloads, Mixtapes, SMKA

If there's one thing rappers need, it's to stop making "I'm so high my eyes look Chinese" references. But if there's two things rappers need, it's beats that weren't made by their retarded cousin on Fruity Loops. Thankfully today we can now do you even better - how does eleven of production crew SMKA's best beats of 2011 sound?
