Go Ignant


DJ Mark Marcelo gave me an advance of this Yay Area mix a couple weeks back. After the first listening session was over, my neck was straight hurtin from gettin stupid for 70 minutes. And that should be expected when Marcelo's "Ignant Mix" provides the listener with a pretty comprehensive selection of Bay Area slappers from the past summer.

As the mixtape begins, the listener is provided with the "Hyphy Workout," a short smorgasborg of past hits that became the hyphy circle anthems of last season, with "Hyphy" remix, "Go Dumb", "Slumper", "Hoes in Here", and "Gettin' Hot". The brief intro showcases the talented mixing and blending capabilities of the dj and show that this just isn't your average Bay rap mixtape sounding like it was simply mixed on Acid. As the album progresses, a slew of slappers comes on from The Team, Keak, E-40, EA-Ski, Frontline, etc. But within the mix comes very interesting selection, that of Zion I's "The Bay" and its remix, a very refreshing selection to hear especially with the recent attempts to unify the Bay Area Hip Hop scene, placing backpacker hip hop nerds alongside quadruple extra large tall white tee wearing hyphy rap fans. From end to end, the album consistently comes with it, providing non stop head jolting experience.

I've heard my fair share of Bay rap mixtapes, and I have to say that I really haven't come across one that provided a selection focusing primarily on the fun and energy of hyphy culture along with the precision of a skilled dj. B Cause and Boss Hogg provided fans of Bay rap a mixtape early this year that demonstrated dope slumpin and grindin song selections with skillful mixing, with their "Slump and Grind" mixtape, but the "Ignant Mix" provides an updated version for the ever changing Bay Rap music.
