While Phonte readies himself for the release of the 2nd Foreign Exchange album on 10/7, Rapper Big Pooh has been cooking up some treats of his own:

You can cop it @ URB Magazine's blog for the super-low price of Free-99 so you really don't have an excuse NOT to. So yeah, if you could get on that soon, that would be greeeeeeat © Lumbergh from 'Office Space'. The track "Plastic Cups" is getting a lot of attention - probably because the beat is better known as "Gobstopper" on J Dilla's Donuts. Here's the video featuring fellow Hall of Justus'ers Chaundon and Joe Scudda:

Other pleasant surprises include 9th Wonder's magical goodness on the track "With You" and the magnificent West Coast-ish swag of "Regular Nigga" with Ab-Soul and "Reality Check" with Big Dho, Mykestro and D. Black. "Nobody Like Me" has a crazy loop of some classic Lauryn Hill vocals - see if you can guess where they copped it ;) Even though it's a mixtape, there's only one recycled beat and it's Lupe Fiasco's "Dumb It Down":
