Unfortunately summertime is over.  No more backyard boogies, poolside parties or daytime jumpoffs.  But hey, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to tap into that summertime vibe.  Clearly music is the best and easiest way to do so.  This mix was made with the intent of capuring a piece of that summetime magic that we all love.  On the Hip Hop tip though ya dig!  I compiled some of my favorite joints from this summer.  I basically mixed what I was knocking in my whip and tracks that where fire in the club.  On the Hip Hop tip though ya dig!  I through in some fly R&B jawns for good measure.  Big shout to my co-conspirators Shane Mooney of Greenlight Ent and Yamani Watkins of Karma Kollective.  We present to you, "Hip Hop Rules Vol 2. End of Summer Edition"
