Peace. Welcome to my world...
I love music. I make and distribute mixtapes of music that I love. Period. My entire operation is based off the following mantra:

HIP HOP NEEDS BALANCE

I prefer fans to customers....it's a recession...as a gift to you, enjoy free download links to many of my mixes below, or click here.

Also check me out the last Sunday of each month on DJ Jamad's Afromentals Mixshow (Sirius Radio Channel 40 Hip Hop Nation): Respect My Fresh with Finsta and Vandalyzm...

Catch me on twitter

And FYI...I'm much better with communicating over e-mail than through MySpace...please hit me at djtrackstar@gmail.com. Peace.

My most recent project: “Since Jay-Z stopped worrying about being the best and declared himself the greatest, many people have claimed the title of Best Rapper Alive, but few as often as Lil Wayne and Royce Da 5′9″. While Wayne is a global superstar and Royce owns the underground, they seem to share similar taste in beats — “D.O.A.,” “I’m Me” and “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” as notable examples. I went ahead and put together twelve rounds of Nickel and Weezy facing off over the same beat, threw in a boxing motif, and now I’ll let the people decide.” Download HERE ************************************************
