Free Rhymefest Track

Photobucket


Chicago's own Rhymefest is taking a break from recording his new album El Che to prove that true hip hop music is timeless by way of a mix tape titled El Che: The Manual. The mix tape will feature rehashed old school beats made relevant for 2009. He's offering up a sample track to download free here, which you can preview before downloading on his MySpace.

'Fest is giving you the chance to get involved in the project as well. Submit your retooled beats to pluggcitybeats(at)gmail(dot)com ASAP and you could be featured on the mix. Files must be in MP3 format and all emails without a file attached will be deleted.
