Roccett is here to bring us his brand new street album The Free Agent. Teaming up with DJ Drama, one of the best DJs worldwide, this is sure to be a massive hit for hip-hop lovers everywhere.

Featuring top class acts like Bobby Valentino, Dion Primo, Don Cannon and Grammy nominated and multi platinum producer Drumma Boy this mixtape is quality assured to make you sit up and pay attention.

Boasting a massive 16 tracks all have their own sound and vibe. 'Free Agent (intro)' starts us off in true mixtape style by giving shout outs and introducing the mix.

'City I Know' starts off the real mix with a good beat and catchy tune which carries onto 'How We Roll' this has an edgier side with a sweet funky beat.

I love love love, 'Fucc Wit U, Part 2' and 'All a Woman Needs'. Bringing in the female vocals lightens the mood and brings in a sexy sound and vibe to this mix. Perfect for making your move on a loved one!

The bass on 'You Aint Heard' is fresh and crisp, the vocals are second to none just as the spitting on 'I Don't Think So', I'm loving the plinky melody to this gem of a song which has everything from straight talking raps to a melodic catchy tune and vocals to match.

'My Real Niggaz' is pretty cool. Starting off with The Starland Vocal Band's 'Afternoon Delight' and morphing in to its own hip hop style of rapping. I love this beat, although not as catchy as some of the other tracks on here, it's just class.

Using more of a dark edgy vibe is 'Me', it's got gritty attitude mixed together with a flirtatious melody. Cool.

Roccett manages to produce great hip hop that is vocally supreme with good beats and edgy spits. What I love about this is the hip hop attitude, it's present but not OTT as with some hip hop artists.

I can honestly say there is not a track on this mix that I don't like, all have their own sound and stand strong on their own. This is a commercially accessible mixtape for a wide audience to enjoy. As long as you are not adverse to explicit lyrics, like good beats and melodies then this is a must to download!
