Free Mixtape: Mattic- Live from the Attic

Every avid music collector has a few 'ghost classics' floating in their stacks. Ghost classics are those hidden gems that are relatively unknown to the majority; the little indies that could, but never had the steam; the albums that are found on the internet three years after they were dropped and dubbed classics by rap nerds that love to label things as classic or underrated; and the things people never see or hear until one night it just jumps out and gives you a jolt. One of my favorite ghost classics is the 2004 debut album from Charlotte, North Carolina's The Others entitled Past Futuristic.

I came across the record sometime in 2006 and it became one of my favorite sleeper releases to mention and share with fellow hip hop heads on message boards and at pre-show kickbacks. Despite always receiving positive feedback from everyone that heard it, MCs Madwreck and Mattic, alongside DJ/Producer DR, never got their well deserved props, and to this very day, continue to get the cold shoulder, despite solid efforts like Madwreck's 2008 solo The Last Detail; the 2009 self titled ZKPRZ project (Mattic and Madwreck's side project without producer Catt Magle); and Mattic's Poltergeist Music: A Collection of B-Sides and Rarities that was released earlier this year. Show the motherfuckers some love, will you? 

Here's your chance.

Mattic has just released another free mixtape via his Bandcamp page called Live from the Attic, featuring brand new cuts produced by Madwreck and DR. Staying true to his style that made me a instant fan of The Others, Mattic murders twelve tracks of that feel good and lets loose lyrical loogies on unoriginal rappers, sexy evil minded women, gimmick loving US rap fans, and more.

Peep some samples from the tape below, as well as the download to the full mixtape and his other 2010 release, Poltergeist Music.
