Lebron James Presents: The Campaign Mixtape

Lebron James calls in favors from a bunch of his rap friends for a mixtape to bump in the locker room and practices.

The moment has finally arrived, LebronJames.com presents The Campaign. As stated before, this is the official playoff mixtape with all NEW music from your favorites such as Fabolous, Ryan Leslie, 2 Chainz (sort of lol), Trae The Truth, Ace Hood, Nitty Scott, MC, Maino and MANY MORE! No need for the talking, we’ll let the music speak for itself. If you liked volume one, just imagine what we could be done with  volume 2! Tracklisting and download link, below!  Once again thank you to EVERYONE who made this tape possible!

Somebody’s ecstatic! Jokes aside, this is a dope lineup of some of the best doing that trap muzik. Drug dealing and playing ball is two completely different things, but the music will get anybody motivated. Side note: we love how real Gangsta Gibbs keeps it, playoff mixtape or not! Cop the mixtape here.

Nas – “The Don” Music Video

Nasty Nas in ya area! In the video for “The Don”, the second single off the highly-anticipated Life is Good album, the Queens lyricist is seen champagne sippin’ in upscale lounges and then spittin’ raps surrounded by a ring of fire. It’s a parallel that shows you there’s more than one way to be ‘the don’ and nobody does it better than a seasoned vet like Nas. We’re looking forward to this album.
