Over the weekend I received links to three new mixtapes, all available for free download. First up,
Newport Authority, the promo mixtape for the upcoming Marco Polo album
Port Authority (due out May 15th). For this tape Marco Polo teamed up with Mick Boogie, the current king of free online mixtapes. The tape itself features several of Polo's previous collaborations with the likes of the Boot Camp Clik, Jean Grae and Pumpkinhead. There are also three tracks from the upcoming album.

The second mixtape,
AnyQuality Pt. 3, comes from
DJ Amen and
Sounds Supreme. Filled with almost forty tracks, featuring artists ranging from the X Clan to ODB to AZ to Camp Lo, there's at least one track on here to satisfy every type of hip hop fan. For the full track listing,

The third mixtape was put together by Biz of
SpliffHuxtable,
Black Villainy. Its a mashup album blending Jay-Z's vocals from the Black Album with the beats from
Madvillainy. No doubt you've heard a ton of Black Album mashups already, but there are some really good
remixes on here that make this one worth checking out. In particular, Biz managed to turn the original, almost unlistenable version of
Change Clothes into something worth playing by combining it with Madvillain's
Raid.
