After days of searching, I finally was able to locate a working link of the very first mixtape of the hit comedy series, "How To Make It In America." It won't be right to post a volume 2 without the first one, correct? So this is me trying to catch-up, again.
Kid Cudi x DJ Green Lantern x Broke Mogul team-up with the premium cable television network, HBO, for the soundtrack. All throughout the mixtape, info about the cast and the show as it is hosted by Cudi himself, also adding a few stuff of his own to the mix. Featuring music from Jadakiss, Aloe Blacc, Yacht, Chromeo, Duck Sauce, Holy Ghost!, Florence + The Machine, Lupe Fiasco, Phoenix and more. Check it out for yourself. Download link after this jump.
"How to Make It in America follows two enterprising Brooklyn twentysomethings as they hustle their way through New York City, determined to achieve the American Dream. Trying to make a name for themselves in New York’s competitive fashion scene, Ben Epstein (Greenberg) and his friend and business partner Cam Calderon (Rasuk) use their street knowledge and connections to bring their ambitions to fruition. With the help of Cam’s cousin Rene (Guzman), who is trying to market his own high-energy drink, and their well-connected friend Domingo (“Kid Cudi”), the burgeoning entrepreneurs set out to make it big, encountering obstacles along the way that will require all their ingenuity to overcome."
A friend recently told me to download the "How To Make It In America The Mixtape" and he specifically told me that it is solid... So here I am, now writing an entry about it, because it is that good!
Nothing new regarding the tracks but track selection and direction is just well-planned and awesome! HTMIIA Mixtape by Broke Mogul x Mick Boogie is a brilliant fusion of different genres such as indie, dance and hip-hop, to create a harmonious source of good vibes. It features tracks from some of my favorites like Midnight City (clearly a favorite) by M83 and Levels by Avicii and other artists like Little Dragon and Theophilus London. Downloading is highly recommended so click here to get a hold of the mixtape.
