Many of you might know my favourite series titled "The Boondocks". It is a cartoon broadcasted by Adult Swim, an adult-oriented cable television network. It provides a sharp mirror to black culture through the stories of two young brothers, Huey and Riley Freeman who live at their grandfather's in a decent neighbourhood, the boondocks. This mixtape hits you with all the tracks which characterize the atmosphere of the series.

My man, Urban Toilet posted already 2 albums of Mex a.k.a. Black Grass (Brighton, UK), therefore no further introduction of him is required, I presume. I posted his second album to bridge the gap between the records titled "Black Grass" and "Three". I like these groovy beats with all the features he picked. Peep it!
