The Se7en Days of Ye: Day 7 - (Good A$$) Job

The day has fallen upon us, the time is here. Kanye West's fifth studio album is almost ready for consumption and in keeping with tradition, DJ Dub has concocted his special blend of treats from Mr. West. Making the seventh entry in this widely popular mixtape series, Style & Grace, Dub takes you on a musical excursion in the world of Kanye. After what the world thought was a Molotov Cocktail self-aimed at his career, he emerged stronger, better, smarter and faster.

Bringing out elements of the past to become part of the future yields the ultimate in listening for mixtape fans worldwide and Dub knows that first hand. Be sure to check out the various Dub Mixes on volume se7en as he employs inspiration from contemporary and classic artists like Drake, Black Moon, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Mos Def and more. Not to be outdone, volume se7en sports 26 tracks (27 with online bonus) and is a solid listen from beginning to end.

When asked how he could follow up the successful Jay Electronica "Victory" Mixtape, DJ Dub merely replied, "The only way I know how...beats, rhymes and creativity." True words spoken by the mixtape award winner & mixshow DJ (Music Choice's Rap Channel).

Se7en Days Of Ye: Day 6 - Songs

One day left!!! The unveiling of Volume 6 came at a pivotal time of Kanye's career. Having successfully sashayed into the realms of aristocracy's favorite pastimes, couture and dance music, Yeezy really had much to be arrogant about. Designing possibly the most expensive shoes by an MC for MCs, Ye really set the bar high for all of his endeavors at this time.



Style & Grace Volume 6 revealed Kanye as a lyricist of unsurpassed literary ability, adept at the techniques of alliteration and polyprosopon, able to create the most sincere poetry of his day, and all the while incorporating into his work a subtext critical of the current state of affairs. This volume sports a nice dance set at the end including a fun remix of Kanye's Workout Plan. Enjoy! One more day until part 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Se7en Days Of Ye: Day 5 - Judges

Day feezy of Yeezy and I'm really glad you're taking this all like a true hip-hop head. This issue brings the funk back to the core ethics of my mixtape mantra, make old songs sound new. Volume 5, like Judges, is the continued story of 2 of G.O.O.D. Music's judges, Consequence and Kanye, and "their struggle against an oppressive foreign overlord". Who's the overlord you ask? The jerk with his hand on the trend-bending outlets of radio, video and tv that pushes through those damn dance tracks that hurt every MC's heart. This edition has interview footage from Kan and Cons, remixes by yours truly and special guests like Royce Da 5-9, Consequence, Talib Kweli and John Legend. Enjoy like always! 2 Days left!!!

The Se7en Days Of Ye: Day 4 - 1 Chronicles

Similar to the book of first Chronicles, this mixtape is a solid listen as its one of the few editions of Style & Grace that is recorded from a true live mix. It was released prior to Graduation so you will hear that influence heavily throughout this mix. The focus was clearly on Ye's lyrics and special guests ranging from Ma$e to Roscoe P Goldchain (qTip Voice "where ya at"?). Trust this is no exception to the legacy of the Style & Grace series and is a great ride out. Enjoy!

The Se7en Days of Ye: Day 3 - 2 Kings

Volume 3 takes us to the South side of Chicago to tell the story of two of the city's native sons, Rasheed and Kanye. Deriving the theme from Richard Wright's classic novel, Native Son, this tape echoed the resurgence in Common's career as well as Kanye's confidence. The tape also features a myriad of guests ranging from Patti Labelle to John Mayer (before he was placed on hood probation...). Trust me, a good listen...Enjoy!

The Se7en Days Of Ye: Day 2 - The Exodus

As with any trial, you will be tested. This mixtape came at an odd time where the world was at war with itself and music was serving as a quiet escape for the crew. See what you think and enjoy day 2 of the Se7en Days of Ye.

The Se7en Days of Ye: Day 1 - The Genesis

Kanye west has been at the forefront of this millenium's musical voice. Being able to go from backpack rapper to b-boy auto-Crooner is not a feat that many artists can lay claim to. After throwing a "molotov cocktail" at his career with the Taylor Swift incident, The Louis Vuitton Don has regrouped and has made a committment to evoke 100% hip-hop on the upcoming album, Dark Twisted Fantasy.

The rise to power has been archived on the Style & Grace series in its first six iterations. With various guests and themes, DJ Dub has captured the plight, struggle and victory from Ye's musical perspective.

Upon completion of Volume 7, Dub wanted to give all of Kanye's fan a treat and in turn has deemed September 23-September 30, the Se7en Days of Ye. Every day @ noon, from September 23-30, you can catch a link to download a volume of the Style & Grace series so by day se7en, you'll be ready for all that power.

After dropping Jay Electronica's well-recived "Victory" mixtape earlier this year, Dub decided to revisit one of his most popular and familiar mixtape series. People have been a fan of the Style & Grace mixtape series because of its showcasing of unreleased material and Dub's panache for remixing. They've been seen at all of your favorite sites like Vibe, The Smoking Section, The Source and more.

Labor Day: Stay Out Of The Water

Aight, another installment is on deck for your boy. For some reason, GQ planted the seed that I would want to watch the nonsense called "Pirahna 3-D". Unfortunately it continued to reinforce the stereotype of my disdain for swimming in lakes, oceans and rivers. What does that have to do with VOSS, Fiji, etc? Not a dang thing. I figure if a $7 bottle of water is a top seller, you might pay attention.
