The 13^th installment of the Mixtape series Sumthin’ 4 tha People–yes we said 13^th installment; to hear releases 1-12, email [email protected]–“Blu Ca$ino” hosted by Bill Kushinton brings a more in-your-face sound that showcases the aggressive side of Hyp-Hop Sells that we normally don’t see. The lead single for the project, “Moscatto & the Chief,” featuring D-Re’ll of Coldest In It/On1 Enterprise, hits you with a glimpse of what is upcoming for the album. We got a chance to talk to Sells about his plans for the song, and Sells says he’s currently working on putting together the visual concept for the video with Ed Kelly of Next Level Films, so look for the video to be released by the third week of January.

Sells has also reached out to some top-notch producers and artists from around the U.S. and his own backyard of Colorado, with production credits from: Sellsbeats, D-Re’ll, Shadow Monster, Mr.Freshh, Purps Beats of 808 Mafia, Swollen Drumz, Cheff Premier, and Sunnie Beats. The album also includes features from: D-Re’ll, F.T., Bill Kushinton, P.Sky, G.O.A.T, Iman S., Shadow Monster, 1P, Big Tex, Awol, Luni Cydal, King Tef, and Arkansas Bo. If this isn’t enough for you, Sells says there are also two bonus tracks on the album to give his fans just a little bit more of him.

This project gives you the feeling that Sells is going “All In” for this one. We can say that the odds are in his favor after the year Sells had in 2012, topping over 15,000 downloads of his last EP #OnlyInDreams, and also receiving over 3,000 views from his video “Explicit.” Sells expects “Blu Ca$ino” to be the driving force for 2013 leading up to his debut album Mr. September, set to release in September 2013 under Label On1 Enterprise “LLC.”
