Mile Hi Club
If You Didn't Swag Surf In 2009, you more than likely want to check you pulse because you are dead. The infectious track that tore through the country was brought to you by the newest leaders on the Atlanta scene... Fast Life Yungstaz better known as F.L.Y.! Countless shows, an album deal, and a number 3 album spot on the Billboard Top Rap Albums later, Myko McFly, Vee, and Mook are back on the scene with their latest update for the streets, "Mile Hi Club". The ultra-swagged trio sought out DJ Prety Boi Tank and DJ Geronimo to bring us up to speed to just how F.L.Y. they are and to instill into the industry that "F.L.Y. Is Da Limit"!
The tracks included are great for anyone, from the casual F.L.Y. fan to the the ladies to their true to the core following. Everyone will be satisfied with this one! As the mixtape opens, everyone is properly introduced the group answers a very simple question, "Why You Do Em Like That?" Lines like "Why You Do Em Like That/ Why You Drop This Here/ Cuz We Killed Em With Tha Sauce/ Club Banger Of The Year!" This captures the true essence of F.L.Y., confidence that borders cockiness... Swagger that you can only be respected. The mixtape supports crazy wordplay and tracks that just captivate the listeners to draw them in. The thing that F.L.Y. does best is their presentation. On every track they mesh with their instrumental to create a musical presence and capture the fast lifestyle that they are named after. Other notable tracks are the new single "I'm So Gone" a Drunk Anthem just in time for the New Year! Wit K.E. on the track and Roscoe Dash adding in the hook says it all, "We Drink That Henn... That Cuevo Gold... Belvedere, Patron... We Drink Ciroc, Louie 13, 1800 Strong... And I'm So GONEEEEEE!" Adding to the overall value of the mixtape, Pretty Boy Tank and Geronimo also include past hits like "These Girls Goin", "Bands", and "Cool Money Maker"! All in all, the presentation and production give us a highly satisfying fix. Is it possible that F.L.Y. really is the Limit...?

Batman & Robin: Superhero Language
As I sit here listening to the new DJ Spinz Presents J. Futuristic & Yung LA: Batman & Robin (Superhero Language) mixtape I started searching for words to describe it. Out of nowhere, track 9 comes on that summarizes the entire mixtape in 3 simple letters, T.T.U. (Too Turnt Up)! When J & La first invaded the scene with tracks like "First Name, Last Name" and "Ain't I" they brought with them their colorful outlook on life. It was a sound that the game had not known yet, not the stereotypical dopeboy/hustla flow or the loverboy language that many rappers utilize in their raps, these two new artists decided to attack the game from a completely different angle. This sound would eventually become known as exactly for what it is, futuristic. As the two began to express their unique perspective, their buzz steadily grew. Individually, as two of the young trendsetters in hip hop, when it came time for the two to collaborate, it was only right that they sought out one of the new age bosses on the DJ scene, DJ Spinz. With all of this creative genius coming together on one collective effort, it would only be expected that something unbelievably great would be the result. Like something out of a comic strip, Batman & Robin (Superhero Language) comes back from the future to entertain you.
To sum it up, Batman & Robin (Superhero Language) is a mixtape you are going to want to check out. J. Futuristic and Yung LA provide plenty of bangers to ride to and serves as a good update to where the two are at this point in their rap careers. Here is the break down of the mixtape:
