Mixtape Mondays: Trackademicks & The HNRL x Nick Catchdubs, Nappy Roots, Applejac
Trackademicks & The HNRL x Nick Catchdubs "Summer School"
The summer seems to be a popular source of inspiration for mixtape DJs this year. In this week's Mixtape Monday, we present two mixtapes whose sole existence is thanks to the season of pool parties, barbecues, and girls in short shorts.
Trackademicks and the HNRL x Nick Catchdubs - Summer School:
Seemingly out of nowhere, a brand new HNRL mixtape was released this morning. The Bay Area crew has been killing it for years and they have teamed up with Nick Catchdubs for Summer School, the only mixtape you'll need to score your summertime shenanigans. The whole crew is here, Mike Baker the Bike Maker, Josie Stingray, Spank Pops, Whiz, 1-O.A.K., Moxmore, and of course Trackademicks.
“Track is a longtime homie," Nick Catchdubs, co-founder of Fools Gold Records said. "Ever since I first started DJing out of town – he and the whole Honor Roll have always had their own crazy, unique style and shown so much love from day one. His first single ‘Enjoy What You Do’ is a perfect example of the putting-out-your-friends’-music attitude that Fool’s Gold was founded on. A chance conversation a month or two ago with Mike Baker at one of our Artist Series events in the store led to this tape, I just told them to go stupid with the beats and make stuff that will be fun to DJ and fun to listen to for the summer. They passed the test…”
