[New Mixtape] Chris Brown - 'X-Files'

For once, I'm glad to see Chris Brown's name in a headline for his music instead of for his legal woes and other controversy. With his album X pushed back to 2014, Breezy holds his fans over with the 6 track mixtape X-Files. The 6 track EP features collaborations with Busta Rhymes, Ludacris and Kid Ink. Enjoy below, and be sure to hit the comments with your thoughts!

2012 XXL Freshman Mixtape (Hosted By DJ Whoo Kid, Diddy & T.I.)

XXL continues to give its Freshman 2012 some shine with its official mixtape hosted by DJ Whoo Kid.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sensing a little favoritism here. Danny Brown only gets songs he's featured on and some artists only get one song. Meanwhile, French Montana is all over this thing.

Definitely thought this song was gonna be about something else, but Kid Ink is coming with battle rap aggressiveness on the Jahlil Beats produced "Lost In The Sauce." Up & Away is coming soon!
