The Cassette Chronicles

The very first time Nitty Scott MC charged her way on this blog, this writer entered a state of excitement and anticipation. She had just dropped her video for her "Monster" freestyle and had released two songs to go along with it.

My reaction to those songs is as follows: "Her charismatic aura plus her critical yet soothing delivery of words and rhymes reminds me so much of Lauryn Hill. Not only that, but this particular female is like the wittiness of Jean Grae fused with the rawness of Foxy Brown. I know comparing a new comer to Lauryn Hill may sound ludicrous but believe me once you listen to her, you'll love it."

The second time I found myself posting about Nitty, I found myself in a state of competitiveness and joy, these were my words: "Watch out mainstream, there might be a new queen knocking over the current multi-hair-coloured-aesthetic-silicone-filled "top" female MC. (Cheap shots? I think so)"

She has just released her first mixtape titled "The Cassette Chronicles" presented by Mick Boogie. Cover art and download link after the jump.

As more and more celebrities come calling for his services, Mick can be found spinning at parties for clients such as Will Smith, Nike, Red Bull, Lebron James, LVMH, Jay-Z, Serena Williams, The Grammy Foundation and more.

Additionally, his creative mixtapes with artists such as Adele, Kanye West, Coldplay, Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs are considered “classics” and are the talk of both the street and the “blogosphere.” -

Two years ago, Mick Boogie and Terry Urban set the music world on fire with an unprecedented mash-up of hip hop icon Jay-Z and English alternative rock group, Coldplay titled, Viva La Hova.  The project included production from the talented Mick Boogie, Terry Urban, 9th Wonder, Cookin’ Soul, The Kickdrums, nVMe, 6th Sense, Remot, Max Tannone, The Amps, Judah, CJ Luzi, Gooch, Garbs Infinite and Hasan Insane .
