As proof of DJBooth's dopeness, we've teamed up with our brother in hype DJ Critical Hype - he of the blends mixtapes - to create the inaugural edition of the Best of the Booth mixtape series. Featuring the best music spun on the Booth during the month of May (and beyond), Best of the Booth Vol. 1 combines the the latest records from both established and independent artists into one purely dope package.

the king of "I don't give a fuck" is Slim's Detroit compatriot and Slaughterhouse alum Royce da 5'9". Royce will say anything to anyone, a trait that's simultaneously stalled his career and earned him an intensely loyal following. All that's a long way of saying that Royce just dropped his new mixtape "The Bar Exam 3" and it's N (even remotely) SFW; which only makes it that much more dope. Listen and download...
Raekwon only makes dope. Pun intended. Incredibly his "OB4CL2" was just as classic as the first edition, and The Chef's latest mixtape adventure, the elaborately titled "Brinks Boys Presents: Cocainism Vol. 2", is every bit as unceasingly hard and raw as an album. Listen and download...
After weeks of hearing about T.I.'s ironically self-loathing new mixtape "Fuck a Mixtape" the time has finally arrived for a heavy dose of King in your life. On the downside it's DJ Drama affiliated, so I hope you're ready for a grown man to scream at you for a while, but on the plus side this mixtape is higher quality than most rappers albums. Listen and download...
Rick Ross dropped his new free EP "Albert Anastasia" today. Maybe it's because of the police ties, maybe it's because he's got huge man titties, or maybe it's because he kind of looks like Carl Winslow's fat younger brother, but it's so easy to make fun of Rick Ross that it's easy to forget just how hard he's been hitting it lately.

The latest sign of Mike Schppitz's burgeoning prominence is his new mixtape "Mike Murder", a 10-track effort that finds the young rhymse-schpitter going in over some classic beats from the likes of legendary producers like DJ Premier, Dr Dre, RZA, Timbaland and many more. Download now so you can say you were down with him before the fame and riches. Listen and download...
As I wrote for for his new single "Killer People", Wale's still waiting for another DMV emcee to join him in the national spotlight, and Tabi Bonney's making a strong bid to become that emcee on his new mixtape "A Place Called Stardom". Featuring Wale, Raheem Devaugh, and more, "A Place Called Stardom" may just make you a believer. See more...
Like many lyrically oriented hip-hop heads out there, I had Sha Stimuli's latest album "My Soul to Keep" on repeat. The man's rhymes were fearlessly honest, fiercely aggressive and just flat out dope, so it feels like Christmas came a little bit early year with the release of Sha's new mixtape "Overtime (My Soul to Keep)". Listen and download...
Goddamn, Bobby Creekwater is putting out new dope mixtapes like Kat Stacks just plain puts out lately. Only a little while after he dropped off his business-only "Back to the Briefcase 2" mixtape the former Shady representer turned independent grinder is back at it again with his new mixtape "Not Now But Right Now."
