Buff1 & DJ Graffiti ask…
“What Does Hipster Mean?”



Credit due to MOSologist & MichiganHipHop.com for providing the track.

One of the most consistent MC’s in the game right now, Ann Arbor’s own Buff1 is back at it again. This time it’s with an exclusive new track for DJ Graffiti’s brand new mixtape, Hipsters Need Soul Too. Keeping up with the concept of the mix, Buff’s “What Does Hipster Mean?” hilariously addresses just what the title implies, over a dope, breezy beat by French producer Astronote.

If you’re not up on Buff1 (that’s probably what that empty feeling you’ve had inside your soul has been), he’s been putting out release after release (each as dope as the next) as a part of the hip-hop collective, the Athletic Mic League, since 2002, and in the last year has dropped the impressive back-to-back solo albums, Pure and There’s Only One.

At the same time, Graffiti is another Ann Arbor native whose been putting it down for years now. His slew of mixtapes and work both behind the scenes and at the forefront have earned him the title of Michigan Mixtape King. He also holds down duties as the official tour DJ for Detroit’s own Phat Kat.

Below is a free download of “What Does Hipster Mean?” – and after the jump I’ve provided two personal highlights from Buff1’s now out-of-print mixtape, The One And Only (featuring production from Samiyam and a guest spot from Guilty Simpson), plus one of his most recent guest appearances, from his A-Side family members, Now On’s new album.
