The Madden Brothers (Benji and Joel Madden from Good Charlotte) dropped a mixtape yesterday that included features by Tayyib Ali, Casey Veggies, Wiz Khalifa, Machine Gun Kelly, Rockie Fresh, and The Cool Kids.  Originally I skipped over the tape, but after really giving it a solid listen, I realized how this mixtape is actually refreshing.  “Doin My Thing” really stood out with a dope beat and a good delivery by Tayyib Ali.  Machine Gun Kelly spit over Skrillex and for once it actually sounded good.  Last time when XV attempted to rap over a Skrillex production I didn’t love it.  Listen to the full tape on Soundcloud after the jump and if you don’t want to download the whole tape make sure to dl MGK’s track (#2) and Tayyib’s (#9).
