HipHopAtLunch.com has been covering Travis Porter since the launch of the site, and now we're pleased to present, along with LiveMixtapes.com, the group's 5th official release, Proud 2 Be A Problem.

This tape marks our site's first sponsored mixtape and comes at the highest point in the group's career as all of the major labels are offering them record deals.

What's special about this tape compared to the previous four is its presentation. An hour before releasing the mixtape, fans were invited to watch the group's movie and chat about it on this custom made landing page.

Don't let the "Freeway" Ricky Ross beard fool you, Sean Falyon's music is far from gangsta. Having said that, it's a good thing that Sean embraces his personal rap style instead of spitting fabricated lines in an effort to fit into the stereotypical rap image.

What's unique to Sean Falyon is his impressive ability to network and get his name around the industry. As the mixtape artwork states, the Atlanta based emcee literally makes it seem like he is everywhere at once. Big shout out to Fabian Williams on creating the mixtape's artwork which carries that theme!

Last week, Wiz Khalifa woke up a lot of major media outlets, music fans, and record label execs, that had previously been sleeping on the Pittsburgh artist's incredible fan base, with his release of Kush x Orange Juice.

Ever since parting ways with the people at Warner Bros., the XXL Freshman's career has really taken off due to the impressive amount of grass roots marketing orchestrated by his management team at Rostrum Records.

Dom Kennedy is one of today's many emerging artists who's talent greatly outmatches their buzz. Although not the best situation, this does make him a great fit on this year's Paid Dues festival.

Once Dom and his management team find a better way to get his music on the radio and into the hands of potential fans, this West Coast emcee will start enjoying the increased buzz he deserves.

The mixtape, which suffered numerous delays, finally dropped earlier this month. I was definitely surprised and had already accepted not being able to hear it anytime soon!

It turns out the music was well worth the wait. Fabolous acted out the mixtape artwork and laid to rest a good selection of beats.

Adding to the tape's "last rights-feel" was DJ Drama, who decided to change his knickname from Barak O'Drama to DraMcCain for this project. Regarding the switch, Drama explains how he's "starting to feel like a Republican, giving out the death penalty and killin' you niggas!" (More..)

The Brazilian-born, Florida-raised emcee, Laws has been creating a great deal of buzz around his impressive 4:57 mixtape, hosted by DJ Don Cannon.

Yesterday, XXL Magazine and DJ Whoo Kid gave us a handful of new tracks from some of the best new artists in the game with their 10 Freshmen for '10 mixtape.

The tape helps to defend the new class of emcees against bitter fans and critics who argue that a different group of ten are more deserving. It also serves as a quick glimpse into each artists' style.

Regardless of whether or not these are the best freshmen emcees in the game, I applaud XXL Magazine for continuing to create a great deal of buzz around ten hard working artists each year.

Alley Boy's movement is taking off quick, and with the numerous co-signs coming his way, it'd be a shame to sleep on Definition of Fuck Shit, hosted by DJ Holiday and The Empire.

Some have said that the project was the most anticipatedmixtape since Young Jeezy’s Trap or Die.

Those are some big shoes to fill, but his music does give off the same "larger-than-life trap feel" that Jeezy and Gucci have perfected.
