16 BARS OF GOLD VOL. 2 MC listing

Posted by Beko in 16 bars of gold, Blog | October 11th, 2009

Here it is folks, the official MC list for the most anticipated mixtape of the year. The group is extremely diverse in terms of background and style, but there is at least one thing they all have in common on this follow-up to last year’s release: Talent. In the words of one of our featured artists, Senor Kaos, “Swagger is nothing, talent is everything”. We tried to keep that in mind as we invited over 30 of Atlanta’s finest MCs to bless the wax pressed beats dropped live in the studio by the very talented, DJ Dainja. The master is finished, the cds are in duplication, and the anticipation is building.

The continuing concept of this mixtape is as follows: Combining the old definition of a mixtape (live DJ mixing) with the new idea (MC’s spitting over various beats). “16 Bars of Gold.” After all, the 16 bar verse… is the measure of every MC’s worth.

16 bars Vol. 2 Where are the MCs?

Posted by Beko in Blog | June 10th, 2009

“16 bars of gold” is an instrumental (for now) mixtape that DJ Dainja recorded from his vinyl crates this spring.  MCs then reserve beats and spit their best 16 bars over “their beat”. Many of the beats were reserved early and most of the returning MCs have recorded their verses.  These are the peeps that have already delivered theirs.   Mic Masters, Q-San, Alpha Noise Project, Kaos, Transistor Fist, 4-IZE, Dillon, Q-San, and SIMP.  Others have been a little slow to get there shit tracked.  Maybe they have writers block or maybe they are super busy right now.  Either way, we’re just hoping to keep the momentum and not this one turn into “16 years of old vol. 2″.
