Time For Another Mixtape

It’s been a while since we last put out our last mixtape, but since the site has been redesigned now, why not do another one.

The plan right now would be to release it as a free download like our last two and release it later this winter (February or March). It will be distributed through our mailing list, Facebook, Twitter and, of course, through our website.

This will be open to any artist in the GTA. It doesn’t matter what your style is; the track just needs to sound good. Anyone interested in sending in a track can do so by sending them to Matt at megacityhiphop@gmail.com with “Mixtape Submission” in the subject line. Please include your name or group’s name, any features and the producer’s name.

[Edit: Artists can submit more than one track if they want, however only one, at most, will make the final cut.]

A few rules:

1 – Must be from the GTA
2 – No freestyles or dubs
3 – Send either as 320 MP3 or WAV file
4 – Please send via Mediafire, Hulkshare or a similar site

The deadline for submissions will be February 15th. We will then go through the submissions and select around 15-20 tracks for the final mix.

The goal would be to release a few mixtapes throughout the year, so if your track’s not selected this time around, just submit again the next time.

Also, if there are any graphic designers out there that might be interested in designing the cover art, let me know.

If there are any questions, just ask.

[Audio] Apex Predator – New Year

TORONTO – New Year is the story of two artists – Apex Predator and Crossword – who vow to make a change, fed up with a state of stagnation. Armed with the motivation of the past year’s retrospect and the new year’s acumen, the emcees drop their excuses and storm their next 365-day cycle head-on. This is just the beginning, and with the understanding that the arbitrary notion of a New Year’s Day can be applied at any time, borne out of the celebration is a focused plan. In 2012, Apex Predator will be releasing his debut mixtape, and Crossword is working on his Eclectic mixtape and Different Light EP, as well as the vinyl re-launch of his band’s self-titled Vibonics EP.
