Hey all I know it's odd to have a note within a mixtape zip file, but I just wanted to say, this is not just a mixtape. This project has been more than a mixtape – a true collaborative effort that motivated people to come together to create music. Motivated by the crowdsourcing foundation of Genius, the collaborators who worked on this project came together and pushed each other forward to bring the best out of their artistic minds While on the outside, it seems like this might just be a simple compilation, it's truly much more. There were so many difficulties with it, from recording availability to last minute cancellations to other misunderstandings. That being said, I can't wait to work on the second installment, where it will be even bigger, better and more organized Thank you for downloading and/or listening to the Rap Genius Tape – we truly appreciate your support! With love Stephen Niday
