Ta-Kuhas dropped a brand new mix for the hipsters at Hype Trak titled Drive Slow, Homie Part Two. Here's what T-K had to say about it:

"After all the love from "Drive Slow, Homie" I just HAD to make another musical journey for your whip.

In usual fashion, the mix starts of with some laid back - top down jams that are perfect for your sundown. Slowly moving into the uptempo soul jams mixed with the never disapointing jersey movement. To be honest, i encourage you to bump this on ALL occasions. You could bump this mix while taking your moms to the dentist or while you and your homies/homegirls are trappin' out in your hatchback Barina.

Whether you riding solo or with a whip full of your peoples. TURN UP!"

In case you missed it, we rewind on this essential post from the other day because Mixtape Monday would not be complete if we didn't include Gilles Peterson's moving tribute to Nelson Mandela. Peterson compiled 15 songs, including Miles DavisGil Scott-Heron, and Hugh Masakela to name a few,  that reflect South Africa and the life of Mandela. Listen to the mix below. RIP Madiba.
