THE HOOD INTERNET vs TOBACCO & AESOP ROCK

Tobacco (of Black Moth Super Rainbow) has a new album called Fucked Up Friends dropping on Anticon in two weeks. Aesop Rock is on the track "Dirt," so not only does he appear on the Hood remix of said track, we've also made this whole mini-mixtape (technically a compilation since the songs don't mix into each other) of Tobacco and Aesop with some other special guest appearances. Let's get it:

Pitchfork, the Chicago Sun-Times, Prefix, GBH (scroll down), Chicagoist, Avant/Chicago, Gapers Block Transmission, Metromix, Killahbeez (with a Hood Interview to boot), Paper Thin Walls, Toe Taps and Spastic Claps, Kitsune Noir, Muzzle of Bees... and that's just a handful.

MIXTAPE RELEASE PARTY on Thursday June 19 at Sonotheque in Chicago with Yea Big + Kid Static, plus DJ sets from Shala Esquire (Qualo), Arcadias (Darren & Rob from The Changes), and Jeremy Bolen & Bobby Burg (Chin Up Chin Up). There's a limited number of $5 advance tickets, get em right here.

THE HOOD INTERNET vs CHICAGO

Here we go: it's the official release of The Hood Internet vs Chicago. We've got 23 completely new jams for you, 24 if you count the intro. Some of the artists on here have been in Chicago for a minute, some are relatively recent transplants, and some have even moved away -- but at one point or another, they called Chicago home. And yes, there are a few cameos from some non-Chicagoans, but seeing as they were already part of the track(s) in question, they're like friends of friends, you know?

As you may or may not have noticed, the Hood postings have been relatively slow lately. That's because we've been hard at work (see photo below) on our next mixtape, The Hood Internet vs Chicago, which officially drops on Tuesday. It's 23 completely new Hood joints; you can take a look at the tracklist and corresponding cast of characters right here.

THE HOOD vs GOING INTERNET PLATINUM

As those of you who have been counting know, yesterday's post was the 100th ABX/STV SLV Hood Internet track (check the myspace for numbering). And if you've been paying even closer attention you would know that we have over 1 million song downloads (Note to zShare: When you gonna cut us that check?). So we decided to certify ourselves as internet platinum, which is really quite an honor.

Big ups to God, the internet, and all those other people you thank when you win something. Also, we couldn't have given ourselves this award without the dedication of the Hood Internet Interns who have devoted countless hours to tracking downloads and getting us coffee.

And don't think we forgot about our loyal readers. To celebrate our platinum status we are dropping our next mixtape here on Monday, just in time for all those year-end best of 2007 lists.

THE MIXTAPE VOLUME ONE

As promised: the mixtape. We have a few different ways to download this ish. The zShare link is to one contiguous mp3, or you can download zip files with individual tracks from Sendspace or Rapidshare.

UPDATE: Just to clarify, the zip files with the 'individual' tracks are the mixtape versions, not the single versions. Same shit as the zShare, just divided into 27 mp3s.
