I first heard Hollywood Holt a few months back, not really sure where (If I’d to guess it’d be discobelle). I really dug the mixtape but it managed to get lost for a bit. Well after my most recent laptop death I was digging through my external drive to get things organized and found Hollywood’s mixtape again.
God damn its good –like had it near on repeat for like 2 weeks now good. And you know the best part? Its still totally available to download directly from his website.
Hollywood’s got a fresh vocal sound: crisp and tight whether he’s flowing fast or just throwing down some background narrative. He’s got production work done by fellow Chicago rocker Million Dollar Mano (who’s done some slick production and remix work I’ll refresh you on later).
Hollywood Holt - “Throw A Kit On That Bitch”
Gotta heart tracks about mopeds.
“Caked Up” is the track that got me into Hollywood.. well the Klever remix was, but the original stands rock solid on its own.
The Klever remix straight up pwns and has gotten awesome reception everywhere I’ve dropped it.
Hollywood Holt - “Caked Up (Klever Remix)” (previously posted in Remix 31 –which sadly was 2 months ago)
Here’s some more snippets from the mixtape. It seriously needs to be listened from start to finish to full appreciate it, but I think these will encourage you to grab the whole thing:
Hollywood Holt - “Fiest Hearts Hollywood Holt (My Gay Husband Edit)”
You can grab his mixtape from http://www.hollywoodholt.com or directly from zshare. Bandwidth is cheap. Do it. You won’t regret it.
BONUS! If you haven’t checked out what else Mano’s doing, here’s two tracks that have his signature on them. The first I used all summer long to rock out house parties, soap box derbies and anything else I possibly could. The second is by Mic Terror and illustrates some more production work he’s been doing.
So that’s all kids. What was today’s lesson?
That’s right. Hollywood fucking tears it down and Mano builds it back up with dope beats busting up your hood.
