Low Budget Crew –
Budget Is Low Mixtape Vol. 1
Mixed by RODDYROD & Marshall Law




Here’s the official debut of the brand new mixtape from the DMV’s finest – the Low Budget crew. If you’re really up on your Twitter game (twame?), you might’ve caught the leak of an early, rougher mix yesterday – but this is the official, tracked-out and finished version with artwork by LB’s own, DJ RODDYROD, who also mixed the “tape” along with fellow Low Budgeteer, DJ Marshall Law.

This first installment of the Budget Is Low mixtapes debuts a handful of new tracks from upcoming projects including the official release of Kev Brown’s Random Joints, as well as his concept-collabo with Kaimbr, The Al Green Project, RODDYROD’s Cuba After Market 1.5, Blunt Park Sessions re-release, and more. Also thrown in are some older tracks in case you missed em – plus some never-before-released rarities from the crew thrown in as well.

I’ve also included some footage from Low Budget’s 4th annual DC Loves Dilla fundraiser event this year. Included are performances from RODDYROD, Kev Brown, Grap Luva, Kaimbr, Kenn Starr and Alison Carney – all performing original songs over covers of classic Dilla beats by JLaine and his band. You can peep the tracklisting below, download the mix and then catch the live videos after the jump.

    [...] If you have been anywhere near the internet the past few months, you may have noticed the DMV takeover that has commenced. And with that takeover, you have seen cats like Oddisee, Kev Brown, Kenn Starr, yU, Raheem DeVaughn and many more get their much deserved shine. This mixtape right here (officially mixed, compared to the version that was leaked a few days ago), is a prime example of the pure hip-hop and innovation that is taking place in and around our Nation’s capital. But enough of the small talk, give this a download and share your thoughts… [Via FS] [...]
