I was too busy schmoozing getting drunk at some random-ass Rocawear party with people you only wish you could be around, the NMC dropped yet another in our instant vintage mixtapes, with Chris Lova Lova getting the spotlight. Two discs, two links, one site. Thank you, and you’re welcome.

So the Cookin’ Soul boys decided to link up with the best team on the internets to release their Christmas inspired mixtape in which I’ll let them explain…

Xmas is a time for meeting, for giving and to celebrate. We at Cookin’ Soul want to celebrate this successful year that we’ve had by sharing with y’all some Xmas-inspired instrumentals to rap your Xmas carols on. Sean Paul and Swizz Beatz already did their job (www.cookinsoul.com) now we wanna hear yours!Merry Xmas to y’all!!!

Another heater from Fashawn’s upcoming Higher Learning mixtape, dropping next Wednesday over at the good folks at NahRight and OnSMASH. A last-minute X-Mas present for your loved one or friends, perhaps? Props to Aren.

X to the Vizzy says:

As promised, here is an EXCLUSIVE release to the NMC from another pick-up from the cutting room floor of my album, The Kid With The Green Backpack. This time I recruit the vocals of Ne-Yo to tell the story of what happened BEFORE “Cooler Than Yo’ Boyfriend”. These are tracks NOT making the album, so, just imagine where we are taking it with this one in 2009!

Here’s another track from Fashawn’s Higher Learning coming out December 24th with NMC brethren Nah Right and OnSMASH, which is his take on Jake One’s “Soil Rap” from White Van Music.

First single off Loud.com’s upcoming mixtape, Loud.com Presents… Get LOUD, hosted by Mr. Peter Parker. They’re looking for a December 12th release, but it may change. Looking at the line up I can say we’re in for a treat. Camp Lo f. Styles P & Pete Rock (included below), Freeway, Saigon, Grafh, Termanology, Skyzoo, Serius Jones, Rain, Emilio Rojas, Chaundon, Mickey Factz, Reef The Lost Cauze, The CunninLynguists and others are all confirmed to make appearances. As you know, the NMC are firm supporters of Camp Lo. And this track should have some indication on why that is so. Linking up with Styles P & Pete Rock for a remix to their OnSMASH record that was featured on the NMC EP.

Some behind-the-scenes footage of Camp Lo recording and discussing the contest, doing six songs in two days (writing and recording, mind you), as well as Cheeba backstage at the AHH.com event talking about his tats. Also, hit the jump for some performance footage at the same event…

Smokin Apples (Sonny Cheeba & The Apple Juice Kid) sat down with an anonymous cameraman (uh, sure sounds like Suede to me) and got into the production styles for the very fresh, very hip, NMC EP dropping November 5th. Juice talks samples and inspiration, and the duo also drop some science about who is helping produce their debut album, A Piece of The Action. Think Jay-Z and think Reasonable Doubt.

You already know as we’ve been telling ya’ll for quite some time. HipHopDX is taking notice by putting up an article that features the likes of your favorite dopeboyz on the internets, the rest of the New Music Cartel as well as some other key players in this internets shit. Good looks on this Jake!
