So in September [after the release of The Nicki Effect] DJ Ev & Leak Jones announced they were planning on releasing a Kanye-filled mixtape, The Yeezy Effect. Honestly, I am going to start off by saying this is probably one of [if not] the best DJ mixtapes of the year. It features drops from the likes Kid CuDi, Lloyd Banks, & Big Sean, plus it gives you a description of the "Rosewood" movement. & yeah, there might be a couple discs of some of the best songs of 2010 [from Kanye, Jay-Z, Kid CuDi, Big Sean, & Pusha T among others].
But seriously, for some reason this mixtape makes songs that normally I don't like, sound good. Listen above and view the tracklist below.

Honestly, Glen Infante of I Love The Hype is one of the dopest artists out of the Cleveland [& probably the midwest]. Whether it be via graphic content or actually art, he kills it every-time.
The good thing about that, is that his art brings your attention to other things. One of these things is music; in this stiutation the music of Freshboy Steph. When I first read the name "Freshboy Steph", I immediately thought of Steph Jones.
Glen had the opportunity to help showcase Freshboy Steph through art and design and designed the cover for his first mixtape, The Destructo Disk. He wanted the Dragonball Z theme, but wanted Goku to represent his characteristics. He loved it, and vice versa ILTHY love his music as well. He sort of reminds Glen of a young Redman that got ahold of the Cool Kids.
