Cleveland MC Chip tha Ripper just released a mixtape entitled Gift Raps, which was produced by The Cool Kids‘ Chuck Inglish. Chip’s wordplay and smooth, laid-back, punchy flow is complemented nicely by Inglish’s simplistically sparse production, rich with synths and dope drum loops. I uploaded a couple of standouts from the tape, download after the jump.

“Jump Down” is the first single off of Travis Barker’s upcoming album, Give The Drummer Some, which is set for an October release on Interscope. The album will feature production from DJ Khalil, The Neptunes, Swizz Beatz, RZA, DJ Premier, and Pete Rock, with verses from hip hop heavyweights such as Weezy, Eminem, Pharrell, RZA, Lupe Fiasco, Rick Ross, The Clipse, Ghostface, among other big names. Barker, who is known for his hard, punchy hip hop remixes, played drums on all the tracks and served as the executive producer of the album. The track was produced by Barker and Chuck Inglish, and has a simplistically fresh synthy breakbeat under some gritty rhymes from Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish of The Cool Kids.

G.O.O.D. Music artist Big Sean releases his third mixtape, Finally Famous Vol. 3, hosted by Don Cannon, the prelude to his long awaited debut album, Finally Famous, on G.O.O.D Music / Island Def Jam, dropping on September 14th. Big Sean’s major label debut is set to feature production from The Olympicks, Kanye West, and The Neptunes, and features Wale, Eminem, Kid Cudi, and Rick Ross among others. The Detroit rapper has showed restraint, releasing just three mixtapes over the course of the last three years, but nonetheless has crafted his image as an integral part of the G.O.O.D. music roster. Big Sean belongs to this new class of hip hop that doesn’t feel the overwhelming compulsion to project the gangster rap image, and is willing to push the sonic boundaries of hip hop, a product of the same sort of musical thinking of label mates Kid Cudi and Kanye West. Sean’s strength lies in his ability to blend a bouncy flow of witty punch lines in his melodic verses, making his skills as an MC immediately recognizable for hip hop heads, but allowing him greater potential for a broader audience. It’ll be interesting to see how his album does in a couple weeks, but in the mean time check out the mixtape and this track, which samples the Luniz classic, I Got Five On It, featuring personal favorites, Chuck Inglish of The Cool Kids and Curren$y.
