We had a really fun 2009. Made lots of new tracks, played lots of new cities, met lots of great people, made our first appearance at some festivals (Lollapalooza! Bonnaroo!), dropped the Mixtape Volume Four and a new mix for Dialogue Inc., plus we even sort of made our UK debut (without actually going there).

We've already got some shit planned for 2010: a lil tour with Tobacco, plus a bunch of shows including many in cities we haven't been to yet, with more on the way. And we're gonna make an ALBUM! Holy shit.

HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL

We'll end our Year In Rejects posting with two tracks we did for a 90s show back in October that were probably not such a great idea. Some tracks just shouldn't be messed with. Apologies to all involved, except Black Eyed Peas.

RADIOHEAD vs BLACK EYED PEAS

I've had this comment ready since this track came together (or didn't, rather): Sorry Paul, Forgot To Take Out The Trash.

NEW YEARS EVE: On Thursday we'll be closing out 2009 at Chicago's Smart Bar alongside the homie Bald E. (of Only Children) and a crop of Chi City's finest: Santiago, Sassmouth, Nate Manic, and John Patterson. Check out the awesome screenprint that Spike Press made below, and click here to get tickets in advance.

MIMS vs JOHN VANDERSLICE

2009: The Year In Rejects Part 3

ABX - Knolls If You Wanna (MIMS vs John Vanderslice)
Download: direct via Raptorhideout | drop.io | Soundcloud





Did you know the first Hood Internet post was a MIMS track? True story. Dude's career really took off after that. This one is basically a MIMS song with some horns dropped over it, which explains why it is being posted during reject week.

BONUS NON-REJECT XMAS JAM:

The Hood Internet - Number One Christmas (R. Kelly vs Sally Shapiro) (FULL TRACK)
Download: direct via Raptorhideout | drop.io | Soundcloud





For those who asked for R. Kelly dressed as Santa this year, Merry Christmas.

LIL WAYNE vs QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE

2009: The Year In Rejects Part 2

DJ STV SLV - A Milli'l Sister (Lil Wayne vs Queens Of The Stone Age)
Download: direct via Raptorhideout | drop.io | Soundcloud





My favorite part of The Year In Rejects is that it provides multiple examples in where the Photoshop work supersedes the mixing work.

THE-DREAM vs DATAROCK

2009: The Year In Rejects Part 1

ABX - Datarockin' That Shit (The-Dream vs Datarock)
Download: direct via Raptorhideout | drop.io | Soundcloud





While everyone else spends late-December posting the best of the year, we post the worst. For the third year in a row we bring you The Year in Rejects, a week of tracks that didn't quite make the cut in 2009. This track didn't quite come together, but I think the photoshop makes up for it.

SHWAYZE vs MIIKE SNOW

DJ STV SLV - In Search Of Getting U Home (Shwayze vs Miike Snow)
Download: direct via Raptorhideout | drop.io | Soundcloud

SUN-E feat PAUL WALL vs THE SUBURBS

FULL TRACK: A lot of people left comments requesting that we post up a full version of this track off our Mixtape Volume Four. Here it is.
