Hypetrak linked up with Mick Boogie and Adidas to put together this mixtape in honor of the up and coming 2012 Olympic games. The tape features new music from several artists we cover here at The Masked Gorilla and those tracks are highlighted below along with further explanation of how this mixtape came to be. For those of you who are really diggin' this project scroll to the bottom of the post and download the project in full.
Kids These Days – I Don't Know
Chip Tha Ripper – Keep It So Real
Vince Staples & Michael Uzowuru – Lord
"What do YOU represent? Mick Boogie was so impressed with the upcoming adidas #represent campaign that he decided to make a mixtape paying homage to it: "Represent The Stripes." And he brought along his good friends at HYPETRAK to make it even better! The project ties in the ideals of the adidas campaign with the patriotism of the Olympics going on next month… hence the double entendre of "Represent The Stripes." More of an exclusive, awesome compilation than a mixtape, this project features a who's who of dope new rappers and some legends as well! Check it out NOW exclusively at HYPETRAK."
