Taking New Jams From A-Trak For A Spin

A couple days ago, DJ phenom A-Trak dropped his latest mixtape, Dirty South Dance 2. The tape is, for those of you not keen on observation, the sequel to his highly successful Dirty South Dance. It's pretty baller - great beats behind some established flows - Weezy, Drake, Luda, (shudder) Soulja Boy. It shows off what A-Trak does best, blending catchy songs seamlessly into each other. From his work with Kanye to his excellent contribution to the Nike Run series, it seems like A-Trak can't really do anything wrong.

If anything is wrong with this mixtape, it's that it seems almost like Girl Talk Lite at times - the DJ/mash-up genre line has been so blurred that it's tough to remember what is original production here and what is recycled product. It's unfortunate since A-Trak's physical skills, in my mind, far outrank Gregg Gillis' - I guess that's the age we live in, though. Both dudes make baller tunes worth listening to.

Posted are some of my favorite tracks from this mixtape, which is pretty great from start to finish. Definitely a good mix to spin in the background as you do various things around the world. Cop the whole thing here or stream it in the player below:
