Cover of 50 Cent's new mixtape

​Curtis Jackson, best known as 50 Cent (pronounced fitty) unloaded a mixtape about an hour ago via Hulk Share, one of those download sites that looks mad shady.

Evidently, The Big 10's so popular that it's caused a massive cyber traffic jam and subsequent comment uproar.

Crossfade's working on four different computers and 23 separate browser's trying to download the damn thing--we're really anxious to hear what "Shootin' Guns" and "Put Ya' Hands Up" are all about.

In the meantime, however, we'll share some of our favorite Hulk Share user comments with y'all. Check 'em after the cut.

​With his rugged gutter flow blasting car speakers throughout Dade County, C-Ride has been a long-time favorite in the 305. And backed by Miami's own Cool & Dre, he's got pretty much everything he needs to make a major impact on the hip-hop scene.

For the last year or two, the rapper had been working on an album called The Arab Store. And after being denied a proper release, he took it upon himself to put it out as a free mixtape. His label situation looked to be in serious limbo. So even thought the collection was definitely well received, many wondered whether the world would ever hear from C-Ride again.More >>

​Representing Miami Gardens, D. Cash has been gaining big buzz lately. His instantly recognizable raspy flow makes him memorable from the first beat. Backed by 2Flyy Entertainment, D. Cash may very well be Miami's next break-out hip-hop star.

He just dropped his latest mixtape entitled The Prequel. And in D. Cash's own words, it's the "appetizer" tape to the main course that will be his 2 Real 4 Radio project coming out later this year.More >>

​A lot of Miami's more prominent rappers usually represent neighborhoods north and even way-north of Flagler street, but the southern end of the county has rarely had much talent make it to the forefront of the local hip-hop scene.

Here to change all of that is a Goulds-based rapper by the name of Chad -- or Ya Boi Chad to be more specific. Last month he released his most recent mixtape called Live Band & A Mic, which by the sound of it may not have a live band on it after all, but more so a traditional hip-hop based production.

With Live Band & A Mic, Chad put out various song styles. Musically, the production across the board is completely in sync with Chad's demeanor and various rhyming styles.

​We've featured Anjuli Stars a couple of times leading up to the release of this very mixtape Starvation Volume One, which we've adorned as this week's "Mixtape Of The Week".

The first time many heard of Anjuli Stars was back in 2006 on Pitbull's El Mariel album on an acoustic guitar laced track called "Raindrops," when she introduced the world to her sweet lyrics and soulful voice. Since those days, Anjuli has predominantly balanced her talents between singing and rapping as a Miami version of Lauryn Hill, if you will.

While she still has much to prove to be on Lauryn's level, the foundation is definitely there. Anjuli is the perfect combination of R&B and hip-hop. And judging by the style of her raps, she's definitely inspired by the golden age of New York hip-hop from the 90's. Yet, she's still more Miami than you can imagine. Just look at the "305" tattoo on her left hand.
