Various Artists The Family Files Vol. 2

• Words: Stacey Dugan
• Label: Shaman Work
• XLR8R Rating: /10

Atlanta-and Los Angeles-based Shaman Work Recordings compiled this official mix tape in support of upcoming hip-hop releases by MF Doom, Emanon, Wale Oyejide, and Stacy Epps, among others. The compilation is a mixed bag of b-sides, rough and unfinished tracks, freestyles, remixes, and unreleased goodies. MF Doom makes a brief appearance, and so does Stacy Epps, but mostly this should just be called the Emanon show, because they are all over this album-almost to an excessive degree. If you are an Emanon fan, this is the mix for you.
