The mixtape of this new digital era is far different from the mixtape of the '90s. Today, the mixtape is not bought and sold to supply the listener with exclusive material from their favorite DJ that they can't hear anywhere else. It is now a wise marketing tool to help promote the forthcoming or current project the record label really wants you to pay for. Trey Songz actually has a new album out now called Passion, Pain and Pleasure while Chris Brown's F.A.M.E. (Forgiving All My Enemies) is set to drop in 2011. More often that not, the artist is paying for the mixtape out of their own pockets. Therefore, it gives the artist complete creative control. So if you want to know how your favorite artist really feels on a raw level, then take a listen to his/her mixtape and you just might be surprised...
