Finally it is here, Fly Gypsy’s Remixtape. Featuring remixes of artists ranging from Snoop Dogg to Akon, this is not your every day mixtape. And it might not be exactly what you expect from this rather underground hip-hop duo, coming off their fantastic project, Change For A Dollar. But fact of the matter is, these guys absolutely kill it on this tape. Enough from me though, you are going to have to check this out and formulate some thoughts for yourself. Give it a listen and come back to let us know what you think…

I came up with the idea for this weekly (or bi-weekly, it depends) Under The Radar post after iTunes made me re-enter my entire library. I realized that I had a ton of loose mp3 files that were offered for free by artists on either their MySpace pages, blogs, or whatever. And I feel like a fair amount of ‘em were probably missed by our readership for whatever reason. I mean, some of this shit will probably fly way under the radar for most people, so this also works as a way to showcase certain artists deserving some more shine. I also realize that some of these cuts won’t be new to everyone, but hey, if you have it already then simply move along and wait until next week.

And for my first installment, I wanted to post Flying Lotus’s remixes of two Lil Wayne songs. Yes, I know, we hardly ever post anything related to Weezy or Young Money in general. But hey, I — and hopefully you — cannot deny the greatness of these FlyLo remixes. Truth be told, it wouldn’t really matter if the worst MC alive was spitting on these. Luckily enough, the Flying one decided to remix two of Weezy’s better recent efforts in “A Milli” and “I Feel Like Dying”, the latter of which I cannot stop playing. We have the direct mp3 files for both tracks and then the zip file that includes the instrumentals if you don’t want to hear the Martian.

Emcees featured on here range from some of hip-hop’s biggest names (Lil’ Wayne) to local favorites (Dirty Hank) to underground luminaries (Kev Brown).
