Here we have six new tracks, including one remix we highlighted a week or so ago, from this recently inducted member of the Money Making Jam Boys crew. As I said in the last post, I know some of our readers weren’t necessarily fans of STS’s verses on the Roots’ How I Got Over. But, as I said, I felt like he brought something new and different to the table, especially on “Right On”, which featured some lackluster punch lines from Black Thought. Yeah, STS didn’t drop any kind of crazy knowledge in his bars, but his combination of internal rhyming and clearly honed flow was a welcome change from Black’s more straightforward delivery. And don’t any of you take that as a knock to BT either; dude’s probably my favorite rapper.

I know most of you will disagree with me here, but hey, feel free to sound off against me in the comment section — I thought STS’s features on the Roots’ How I Got Over were fantastic. The MC offered a nice change of pace, especially on highlight “Right On”. And although I’m yet to hear his Demand More 2 mixtape from this Philly-by-way-of-Atlanta rapper, this track we have here is inspired by a cut of the same name from that project. STS was apparently so happy with the cut that he wanted to make an EP based around “Sole Music”. And from what I’m hearing so far, it was a pretty damn good idea. This remix boasts an opening guest verse from Donwill, of Tanya Morgan.

You can download the “Sole Music” remix after the jump and stream it below. Props to 2DBz.

When Tanya Morgan’s Von Pea and Donwill heard the Roots’ impromptu LNJF Sandwiches mixtape, the two MCs felt they needed to do more than just enjoy the instrumentals. They grabbed nine of the “sandwiches” to spit over and even brought Spec Boogie, Che Grand and Jermiside along for the ride known as The Sandwich Shop. The nine-track EP kicks off to an excellent start with the rapping exercise of “Spaintro” and never looks back. I can’t complain about getting free music like this, but I will say I could have used a few more tracks. Yeah, I’m greedy. Stream the EP below and click the player to download the project for free.

Trying to get back in the swing of things here on Potholes. Coming next is a fine mixtape from Donwill of Tanya Morgan fame. It’s nice to see the guys branch out a bit into their solo careers. We all know how successful they have been as a group, hopefully we see the same results as they stand alone behind the microphone. I am not positive, but I believe Von Pea and Ilyas should be coming along rather shortly with solo efforts of their own. We shall see about that. For now, give this tape a spin and feel free to share your thoughts after the skip… [Via 2dopeboyz]
