Congrats Ye.
Last week, the line up for this April’s Coachella Music and Arts Festival was announced. The annual three-day gathering features a slew of live performances and included a handful of hip-hop acts, such as Kanye West, Lil B, Wiz Khalifa, Nas & Damian Marley, Lauryn Hill, Cee-Lo and Odd Future. We here at XXLMag.com are confident that the whole festival is going to be dope, but asked the fans who they most want to see: “Which hip-hop acts are you most excited to see this April at the Coachella Music festival?”

So here it is people. After a tedious battle over which songs would make the cut, starting with 45 and ending with 21, I’ve completed The Pregame. Now you have some music to jam to other than The Hangover. Shouts out to everyone who collaborated on this joint with me, from TreaZon to Codeman and others. I’m praying that this mixtape is well received and I hope you all send at least one copy to your friends. Burn a CD, copy and paste this link or just do whatever you’d like.
Thank You All,
