"9 Summer Mixtape Favorites"

What have you been listening to this summer? Representing summer, mixtapes have always played a key role in adding to our summer bliss. As summer quickly nears its end, we can't help but to run back our favorites. Let's recap the hottest mix-tapes of the summer. Hopefully you have already listened and still are.

Chris Brown 'Boy in Detention'
Continuing his healthy run, Brown never fails us. Similar to a boy in detention, he is bad, carefree and raw. Diving head first into rap, you would've thought he had years under his belt. In 21 tracks, he holds no bars as he delivers a style never duplicated. Combining his rapping and singing, you may just want to sit in detention with him. With close to 6,000 listeners and 415 downloads thus far, we salute this bad boy.

Listen to Boy In Detention

Rocki Evans 'Simply Twisted'
Simply amazing! Hands down he is running for the best R&B of the summer. The eleven tracks are a titillating tease. So much so that a burning, yearning for the album is present. Evans simply twists a few classic hits making the sound that much more. His voice takes you to a place of comfort. The male spin on love and relationships is always intriguing and Evans' twists it to the exact groove. "Better Dreams," "The Nest" and "The Past" are must listens. Still building, his 3,634 listens and 253 downloads are well earned.

Sonyae Elise 'Lady Rebel Vol. 2'
As if her voice wasn't enough to lure us in, her lyrics are equally hot! This pretty little rebel is wreaking havoc on our ears as she laces us with reality. Catchy beats, loose tongues and a fearless attitude is embedded on this mix-tape. Rebellious indeed!

Listen to Lady Rebel Volume 2 (LRV2)

Teedra Moses 'Luxurious Undergrind'
Still under appreciated, Moses is coming with a vengeance that we all knew she possessed. Her sweet, soothing, hypnotic vocals engage us and put us under over and over again. Bellowing out love songs every girl can relate to, she makes us smile, reminisce and contemplate. With Maybach Music on her side, we hope to see her receive the credit she is owed. Go ahead and add another listen to her already 4,457 and 354 downloads.

Pretty Ricky 'Sex Music Vol. 1 Streets n the Sheets'
There isn't another word to describe this group besides nasty. Pleasingly, they tune our ears with sexy, straight forward lyrics that may pierce our sometimes virgin ears. Crooning us, we can't help but to get in the mood. Freaky, nasty and vulgar, all in a good way.

Listen to Sex Music Vol. 1: Streets N The Sheets

K. Michelle 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered'
"Calling all ears" K Michelle is trying to tell you something. Lyrically blunt, she tells us just how she feels. Ranging in her vocalic, she sends us chills. Collaborating with Rick Ross, Gucci Mane, Meek Mills and Jim Jones, this mix-tape is a must listen in its entirety.

Listen to DJ Noize, DJ Brandnew presents Signed, Sealed, Delivered

Nikkiya 'Speakher'
Holding a sound we haven't really heard, Nikkiya is giving us a dose of what we need, something different. Quickly adapting to her voice, Nikkiya similar to a speaker, commands our attention. Writing all her tracks, she is speaking to us. Hailing from the southern streets of Atlanta, she is rising.

Listen to Speakher

Verse Simmonds 'The Sextape Chronicles 2'
Granting us full access to his bedroom, Simmonds knows what mind frame he wants us in. Singing directly to the ladies, our attention is captured. Must listen to his new single "Boo Thang" featuring Kelly Rowland.

Jovan Dais 'Sex Sells
Sex is obviously a topic on the tip of most tongues. Dais is no different as he delivers sultry music. Filled with club bangers, this mix-tape made the summer that much more stimulating. With 5025 listens, he's definitely selling something.

Listen to Sex Sells

If you haven't fixed your ears to these musical melodies, then your summer just wasn't summer!

Bio

There are those who are granted opportunity, and then there are others who take opportunity by the horns, molding and shaping what has been given to them into a continuous evolving machine. Not just a machine that empowers that individual but a group of likeminded individuals, creating a movement backed by the ability to simply believe. For Jovan Dais, every bit as multi-faceted as what he brings to the table artistically, action coupled with belief and opportunity has birthed soulful music, lyrics and an undeniable talent recognized by recording elite.

2004 would mark his introduction as a player in the music industry and ‘FedEx’ was released via CD Baby as a seven song EP. After creating a buzz throughout Atlanta with ‘FedEx’, Jovan would enter a deal with local club promoter turned music executive Mark “Biddy” Barnes and his Cloud 9 Entertainment. In 2005, frustrated with the then current state of the music industry and its “auto-tune” infusion, Jovan would turn to his alter ego and take his frustration to the studio releasing the first ever R&B mixtape by the Aphilliates DJ Drama and DJ Don Cannon (24: Season One).

Calling on his relationship with hit making Atlanta producer DJ Toomp (TI, Kanye West, Young Jeezy), with an assist from songwriter Jasper Cameron (Ciara, Lloyd) Jovan crafted the Toomp produced underground hit “Gotta Get to My Baby”. Jovan embarked on a retail campaign in February of 2006, later reaching the #3 spot on Billboards R&B/Hip Hop Singles sales chart with “Gotta Get to My Baby.” The following year, he released 24: Season Two and was selected for a spot on Seagram’s Gin Live Tour. Joining rap duo the Clipse and R&B sensation Mya, Jovan toured the US, earning the appreciation of music enthusiasts from NY and Washington DC.

In 2009 Jovan released the mixtape Rhythm & Streets, another Aphilliates collaboration, which showcased smooth vocals with a hip hop driven alter ego. Later that year whilst production partner Hot Sauce was at work on projects with super-producer Polow Da Don, Jovan was featured on “Baby By Me” a chart-topping single with platinum selling rapper/actor 50 Cent. Jovan also moved further into the business side of music reforming his production company (Anotha Dais Productions) with good friend and then business partner producer Paul “Hollywood Hot Sauce” Dawson.

After taking a break from performing for a few years, Jovan is back with a new perspective. Jovan teamed up with DJ Don Cannon for a repeat mixtape release, this time under Cannon’s SEX SELLS imprint. Jovan is excited about the new project and the fact that he stepped out of the box with his lyrical content. The set also includes the ladies favorite “Anywhere” and boasts a hot collaboration with Verse Simmonds (Boo Thang) featured on “Honor Roll”.

Over the years, Jovan has evolved into a hybrid artist capable of performing in front of any audience, from serenading the ladies with an acoustic set to rocking the party with more uptempo club records. Now that the climate of music is shifting back to real quality R&B, Jovan Dais is ready to release an album that showcases his heart and soul while showing he is still here. For the past 7 years Jovan has been working with production team T-Town Productions based out of Hamburg, Germany and although they have never met face to face the chemistry is undeniable and the music timeless. The time is right and Jovan is motivated to release “LOVE @ 1ST BYTE” an album true to the core artist that he is produced soley by T-Town crafted entirely online. While continuing to expand the rebirth of R&B this project will play like and audio love story and is sure to re-acquaint music enthusiasts with the enigma that is Jovan Dais.
