esau mwamwaya + radioclit :: the very best mixtape
This was a nice surprise to wake up to this morning (thanks Scott). Officially scheduled to be released on November 1, here's the debut (free) mixtape from Esau Mwamwaya + Radioclit, aka the Very Best, complete with absolutely fitting The Lion King-esque artwork. We've already heard a number of these tracks, but as a whole, this mixtape is one of the most sincere and uplifting things I've heard in a long time. One track we haven't heard yet is "Dinosaur on the Ark," featuring vocals from Ben Brewer, aka M.I.A.'s baby daddy. Highly recommended, obviously:
Download the full mixtape and check the tracklist -- featuring M.I.A., Santogold, Vampire Weekend, BLK JKS, the Ruby Suns, and more -- after the jump...
