Muja Messiah's 4Seen Magazine Cover

4Seen Magazine is a Twin Cities publication devoted to exposing up-and-coming artists. And, in the hip-hop world at least, there is no artist more up-and-coming than rapper Muja Messiah. Having released the pretty great Thee Adventures of a B-Boy D-Boy back in July (on the same day that Doomtree finally released their equally as great crew record), and a mixtape earlier that spring, Muja's riding a wave of buzz good enough to place him at number 8 on City Pages' Picked To Click 2008.

As far as 4Seen is concerned, you can pick that up at these locations.

In other Muja news, he's just been featured on a new mixtape from Rappers Guide called "From America To Germany". Read more about it here.

The Cool Kids Release (a) Mixtape That's Stupid

Chicago hip-hop duo The Cool Kids finally dropped their long-anticipated mixtape That's Stupid yesterday via their website. The set contains six new songs, including "Dinner Time" and "Full and Paid", which you can listen to at the top of the post.

The Cool Kids have two simple instructions for your listening pleasure (via MySpace): "1.play this in your car first! 2. Dont skip.. its only 25 minutes..."

Well, I can't guarantee the former, but based on the duo's shit-hot output this year, I can definitely assure them of the latter.
