Listening to the deluge of mixtapes and free mixes from hip-hop artists and electronic producers alike is often an insurmountable task. That’s why we scour Datpiff, LiveMixtapes and beyond, separating the wheat from the chaff each week.

Hip-hop fans are in for some treats this week: along with very different efforts from Chicago risers ZMoney and Taylor Bennett, there are mixtapes from across the South (by veterans and newcomers alike) and a pair of rap mixes that do things right. Elsewhere, Peder Mannerfelt and Nammy Wams step up for expert sessions.
