Mixtape Monday: Seed x Nottz, Matt McGhee, Kid Breeze, Gee Slab + More
The MC’s kick off Mixtape Monday with projects from Seed x Nottz, Matt McGhee, Kid Breeze and more.
Seed x Nottz reprise their late-90s magic with the incredible new collaborative project No Way In Hell. Maryland native Matt McGhee drops Since You’re Watching, Kid Breeze returns with St. Elmo’s Fire, Nashville’s own Gee Slab raps In Real Life and Montreal’s Ghostnaut takes listeners on a world tour.
Jarreau Vandal, Fatima and Devin Tracy slow things down just a bit with a handful of rock-solid r&b and soul projects. Jansport J kicks things off for the producers with the Low beat tape. Lateef Dameer, Jack Wolff, Packed Rich and Tab Jones close things out with more instrumental releases.
Matt McGhee - Since You’re Watching
Maryland’s own Matt McGhee follows the 2017 Under New Management mixtape with the ten-track Since You’re Watching EP featuring appearances from Cal Rips, rMel, Alex Vaughn and Lil Tracy.
Kid Breeze - St. Elmo’s Fire
Kid Breeze teams once again with producers Tha Shipmates for the follow-up to Snowball Effect entitled St. Elmo’s Fire.

Amsterdam’s own Jarreau Vandal drops his debut thirteen-track project Anthology featuring appearances from Kiah Victoria, Hollie Carmen x Jay-Way, Ace Hashimoto, Sam Wills and more.
Lateef Dameer - No Signal
Jersey City-based producer Lateef Dameer returns almost one year after the release of First Kiss with the six-track instrumental project No Signal featuring Emilio Guarino.
Packed Rich - Ornithology EP
Pianist, producer and crate digger, Packed Rich drops the latest in a steady stream of projects with the follow-up to Sanctuary entitled Ornithology.
The name Ornithology refers to the variety of different bird sounds featured on this project. Most of these recordings were made during my travels through japan last year and they captured some feelings and scenes I will never forget. So when I mix these sounds with my compositions the music takes me back to those places. Back to the old mountain village's buddhist cemetery in the middle of a lush green forest, with the rain hitting the stone steps, cicadas performing an atonal ballad and some hawks flying above, cutting through the unreal soundscape with their sharp screams. Back to this deep connection I felt towards my environment.
