Freedom Verse Café

It is 2011, and what else should kick off the year than a good mixtape?  This year is going to be an exciting one with all of the expected new music arriving, in the meantime lets get down and deep with a great mixture of jazz, poet, hiphop, and soul.

This blend of genres there is a theme from beginning to end; let's see where your mind is enticed to drift off to.  Music should be emancipating, inciting, and inviting; such that we can walk away filling good.  Each mixtape is carefully mixed to give the listener such an experience, while promoting positive and uplifting music.  What more can I say, well there is that...it's free to download and listen in your car, iDevices, and home stereos.  

This project is a non-profit program, and is solely for the promotion of good music and artists.  Please take the time to view the list provided for you to research and support the artists in this mix.  It is not for retail...end discussion.  Let's get vibed!
