Description:
Remember when hip hop mixtapes were actually mixed tapes? When beats actually blended together and Dj’s had something to contribute besides there “big” names and a flurry of gun shot sound effects. Well my fellow hip hop fiends your “Dope Fix” is here! Matt Cali returns with fellow nor-cal artist C-Plus in another prime example of hip-hops continuing resurgence in the west coast. Featuring only 9 tracks but a running time of about 60min, the rap duo wanted to stay true to the mix and decided to leave the tape in the original chunks they were recorded in. Matt Cali explains, “I feel like if we broke-up the mix too much, it really would have taken away from the essence of what we are really trying to accomplish. Which is to showcase rappin‘ and djing at a very high level simultaneously. I don’t think it happens enough in today’s mixtape world anymore.” C-Plus adds “When you have great talent coming together like me and Matt, you can’t just go by the book. It has to be special, anything else is a fail.” This mixtape’s sound and lyrics do not discriminate either the two rap over everything from classic Jay-Z beats to The Police,Flying Lotus and even a few Matt Cali originals. Topics of rhyme include everything from girls and partying, to real life struggles and at times even some political overtones. Matt Cali delivers another stellar performance on the turntables as he and C-Plus hold down the mics supremely. DOPE FIX!!
