Make sure to download the newest episode of the pmaCAST: Looking Better, Shining Brighter Than You Do, featuring Four Tet, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The xx, Yeasayer, Department of Eagles, Hot Chip and more.

I think I will always underestimate what kind of impact releasing a mixtape before an album drops will have on sales and general reception of the album. It can’t be too bad — Lil Wayne basically releases a few dozen of them before each of his records; and Kanye West is no stranger of mixtapes, either. Didn’t he release his Graduate mixtape a little bit before Graduation saw its release?

This Sky High mixtape, somewhat narrarated by DJ Benzi and Plain Pat, doesn’t really feature anything from Kanye West’s 808’s and Heartbreak (save from a “Love Lockdown” remix), but features some of the best Kanye remixes around. Every top-notch producer showed up for class today; we’ve got Diplo, A-Trak, Kickdrums, and Benzi in attendence. Man, even Kanye dropped the school-related puns. I just can’t let something die, huh?
