Maja 7th and FSD Present – The Breakout (Mixtape) (MP3)

Good. It’s finally here! Produced entirely by Maja 7th and featuring appearances by Chi-towns finest, including Naledge, GLC, Freddie Gibbs, Mikkey Halsted, Pugs Atomz, Mic Terror, L.E.P. Bogus Boys, Dave Coresh, Phil G, and Juice, among others. Here’s what Maja himself had to say about the project:

Andrew and I stated working on this album around the 4th quarter of last year. I told him I had some beats I wasn’t using and I wanted to put out an album with predominantly Chicago artists. I had done some work with Killah Priest and some Wu-Affiliates and had been traveling around doing beat battles but I wanted to do something big for the city of Chicago. So we started making phone calls and people showed love. This album is about unity and showing these artists’ talents. It was my job to fuse those talents into a cohesive album. The goal wasn’t to make singles or club records. I just made music that felt right to me. - Maja 7th (Major)

Big shout to Andrew Baker and FSD, as well as everyone else who made this thing possible.

With the release of his second instrumental album, Babu is determined to show that his beats are just as hefty as his scratch. URB caught up with Babu to find out a little more about his mindset …
