Justin Taylor sent over his first official mixtape this past weekend, entitled The Prequel. I’ve tossed up a couple of posts on the site from this up and comer out of New Jersey, but it’s good to finally hear his first official release. He borrows some beats from indie bands like Ratatat and Empire of the Sun, hip hop moguls such as Jay and Kanye, and he also dabbles in producing his own. I’m really into his blend of singing and rapping; it works well for him and he definitely has some big things on the horizon. Here are a quick couple of standouts to give you a taste of what’s on the mixtape:

just a heads up, the first two standouts u posted here are the same song, but i agree, the mixtape is great
good looks thanks for the heads up. should be good now.
Damn, this guy is pretty good when it comes to producing. “The Game” is a dope beat.
