“Haven’t You Heard?” | 8 Track Mix from Dr. Quandary
Posted by Justin Boland on Jan 11, 2011 | 9 comments
I spent the morning formatting interviews and bumping this mix from Dr. Quandary in the MDR-7506’s. I figured it was fresh enough to inflict on the entire Internets - if you’re up on SigNif, Greydon Square or Witness, you already know this will be an innovative treat…
Artists Featured:
- SigNif - dope Milwaukee hip hop…check out The Transition, an exceptionally nice free album.
- Greydon Square - some of best lyrics we’ve heard in years, his album The Kardashev Scale is a monumental piece of work.
- Iz-Real & Icky Slick - something about this goofy-ass weirdo rap is just pitch perfect, innit? Check out The Izslickulus Package.
- Adam Kadmon - from some basement tapes…on a vintage Louis Mackey beat.
- Dr. Quandary - Lost in Her Eyes is an unreleased cut. Hit him up @quandary if you’re in a beat purchasing mood. Lou Zeppelin - Going to California. Nuff said, right?
- Stereotypes - Back - we’re suckers for honest throwback shit and these guys nail that vibe every time.
- Daimyo! is 16 years old and completely insanely talented. Here, he’s working with Minnesota emcee Witness on this beautiful track Mission Statement. Up next: “Only Right” features lunatic emcee
- Social Change flexing over some Philthy Drummond production. We love this song for obvious reasons. The incomparable
- Mark Aubert closes it out with “Hobby Night.”
Bonus Round: If you want more fresh streaming hip hop, head over to The Mad Bloggers to get your Hip Hop Breakfast…more quality tracks for your brainparts.

have to say I did not appreciate the homophobia from Iz-Real though, it was out of place in such an enlightened mix

Just signed up for 8track, that is a very inspirational website. Working on my first mix.
Witness was very surprising! What a talent! I did not like many of the other rappers but the music was very enjoyable on this mix, thanks for this.

Thanks to everyone for checking out the mix! 8tracks is a righteous service.. I look forward to putting together mixes in the future, including more music from my favorite indie artists.
@Daimyo: I tried to tell him, man!
