One of the best mashup projects to come out this year is a collaborative effort between DJ AM and Travis Barker. Recently, the two joined forces and put together this mixtape which highlights some exclusive mashups they performed at the annual Coachella music event in California. One of the featured tracks from “Fix Your Face Vol. 2″ is this mashup with Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name,” Fatman Scoop’s “Put Your Hands in the Air” and Jay-Z’s “Public Service Annoucement.” Music blending at it’s best, check it out.

A duo thoroughly steeped in hip-hop accolades, the Minnesota-based duo Eyedea and Abilities have returned with their brand new album By The Throat, out July 21st on Rhymesayers Entertainment. Their first album since the breakout 2004 release E&A, By The Throat’s songs range from intensely personal topics to the more esoteric (quantum mechanics). The end result is leaps and bounds beyond what MC Eyedea is perhaps best known for, his prowess as a battle rapper (winner of HBO’s Blaze Battle, Scribble Jam and several others). DJ Abilities, also a well-known battle vet and contributor to El-P’s now-classic Fantastic Damage, adds heavily to the sonic soundscape of this album, which advances beyond boom-bap hip-hop into rock-fueled guitar riffs, gritty production and melodic songwriting.
