Welcome back world to another month of hottest mix around, complete with the hottest records from the biggest and brightest DJs in the game. While the dog days of summer continue to push across, the industry has managed to keep things exciting. Dope projects have been popping up all summer. Whether it’s seeing veterans like Jay Z hitting us with raw emotion on his self-reflective 4:44 album or everyone’s favorite neighborhood trap-star 2 Chainz proving that even’Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’ the music has been far from underwhelming. And this month, we take it to a city with a reputation for putting out good music and DJ known for spinning the hottest music in the south. Representing Memphis for Cornerstone Mixtape #204 is none other than DJ Mic Tee with Certified Franchise Music.

Continuously winning listeners on his K97 mix-show through his unique mixes and surprising twists, Mic Tee has been a such staple in the Memphis streets that he’s earned the moniker Mr. Shelby County. No matter the space, his brand is founded on iconic party-rocking style on the turntables and unparalleled charisma. Mic Tee doesn’t just play music, he creates the soundtrack to the city’s most memorable nights. His mission to explore new sounds has allowed Mic Tee to push beyond the limits of just being a DJ and into the studio to expand his musical reach. With his original music collective, Certified Franchise Music, Mic Tee has continued to develop as an artist. Now Mic Tee’s production has moved some of the hottest parties across the South.

On this month’s mix, Mic Tee offers up the same energy he’s known to bring to his mixes and production. The vibe on this month’s mix is provided by new music from  Young Thug, T-Pain, GoldLink and Gucci Mane.  With a track-listing with this much heat, it should be no problem keeping this queued up for the rest of the year. Until our next mix of the hottest new music always remember that the DJ is the Cornerstone of Hip-Hop. ®

2- 6:14: Gotti says that he “doesn’t like any division within us, why divide? If you like Jay-Z or a older dude likes Jay-Z why can’t you like Migos?”

3- 14:30: Talking about Ja Rule and Frye Festival, “He tried and you know he’s gonna try again, the thing with me and Rule we like battle tested, we’re world tested, you could knock us down 7 times we gonna get up 8. We gonna keep coming and coming until we dead.”

4- 28:40 Talking about DMX and his relationship with other rappers, “X is just a unique interesting individual, X is X, to know X is to love X. X really is not cool with anyone who rhymes. He don’t like anyone who has a mic he views that microphone as yo thats my mic, i’m the best. I’ll put a hole through you to show you that i’m the best.”

5- 36:57: Talking about growing up, “Literally every one of my friends sold drugs. The good ones, the bad ones, its just what everyone did.”

7- 40:26: Continuing speaking about his series Tales, “The whole concept of Tales is taking songs and being creative in making a story that hangs with the song. Everyone knows Fuck The Police is a story about police brutality and corruption. What we’ve experienced here in America for the past 5 or 6 years is mind blowing. White officers is killing Black kids. What I wanted to do is spark something and get the conversation going.

9- 57:35: Talking about the fed situation in conjunction with what 50 Cent was doing: “If the feds wasn’t bad enough I had to deal with ‘starts singing the beat to In Da Club’ the hottest rapper in the world is saying fuck me going on a world tour that says fuck Irv Gotti”
