July's Mixtape DJ Roundup feature comes courtesy of none other than DJ Whiteowl. Whiteowl is known for being the most consistent when it comes to dropping exclusives. He will drop at least 3 to 4 mixtapes monthly and have a diverse mix of joints on each tape to make it a skip free playlist on his star studded tracklistings. State Property - The Return of State Property, is a mix of some of SP's front line soliders still putting in work musically. Although the members are all working on their solo projects with different labels, they still rep the Philly State Prop umbrella, where each member cultivated their skills over the years starting with their Roc-A Fella days until now. The supergroup consisted of founder Beanie Sigel, Young Gunz (Chris & Neef), Freeway, Oschino, Peedi Crakk and Omillio Sparks. Beanie Sigel, who most recently has dropped a new single 'B-Boy Stance' is still a top-tier lyricist who is currently a free agent. Young Chris is working on his Univeral Motown/Division 1 debut and has been active on the mixtape front. Freeway released a few projects within the past few years, most notably the Statik-Free EP with DJ Statik Selektah, which was recorded in 24 hours. Peedi, currently signed to Amalgam Digital, has been spotted with former Terror Squad members Cuban Linx and Tony Sunshine and the trio was said to be creating new music. Neef is back in the studio getting on his solo grind. The rest of the team occasionally pops up with a freestyle or two on a mixtape to let the fans know there is nothing lost and the skill is still intact.
Overall, State Property was and still is an ill collective of emcees that repped Philadelphia to the fullest. Whether or not the brothers decide to get back together for a full length album they are still making moves and when they do drop material it usually has listening audience. This collective of songs are cuts the SP members have been featured on, as well as exclusive radio freestyles with old and new street bangers. Jay-Z, Wale and Gillie also have some bars in the mix. State Property as a whole definitely has the potential to make another run and with this mix you will be reminded of the chemistry and talent they had when they entered the game. Strong joints include the posse cut 'The Best Flow', the Raekwon & Sigel collab 'Have Mercy' and the exclusive Jay-Z 'Philly Freestyle'. Shouts to Whiteowl for his relentless drive and this standout release. Philly stand up!
