GET AT ME NOW IF YOU WANT ON HERE!!!!
We just dropped #15 of our Digital Dynasty mixtape series, hosted by the legendary Naughty By Nature, in late November. And while #16 isn't due until next year, we wanted to give our visitors a free gift just before Christmas, thus here we have #15.5, hosted by the Wu's Killah Priest and Tha Advocate (the series' founder).
The new 15.5 around 35 new tracks, including some exclusives from both Killah Priest and Advo, as well as a bunch of gems from rising talent. So, happy holidays from your friends at BallerStatus.com!
"Man, we had to get one more Digital Dynasty out before the New Year. I wanted to come full circle before 2011," Advocate said #15.5. "Killah Priest actually helped inspire the Digital Dynasty movement. The first mixtape myself and Ballerstatus.com put together was Mic Check 9.5 and he hosted it. That was before we came up with the Digital Dynasty brand.
"After talking with Priest, I figured it would be best to knock out 15.5 right before the New Year."

This year, BallerStatus.com and Tha Advocate hit a milestone with our free Digital Dynasty mixtapes series. Not only did we drop our 15th volume with Naughty By Nature, but we also hit 1 million downloads and counting.
Before we close out the year, we wanted to treat visitors of the site with one more before we begin putting together #16. So, Advo hooked up with the Wu-Tang Clan's Killah Priest, who will host Vol. 15.5 alongside him, which will plan to drop before Christmas and New Years.
"Man, we had to get one more Digital Dynasty out before the New Year. I wanted to come full circle before 2011," Advocate said of the upcoming release. "Killah Priest actually helped inspire the Digital Dynasty movement. The first mixtape myself and Ballerstatus.com put together was Mic Check 9.5 and he hosted it. That was before we came up with the Digital Dynasty brand.
"After talking with Priest, I figured it would be best to knock out 15.5 right before the New Year. And yea, Ima co-host it too! Let's get it."
With 15 volumes in the can -- collectively garnering over 1 million downloads and boasting such hosts as the Alchemist, Xzibit, N.O.R.E., DJ Drama, DJ Whoo Kid, and Crooked I, among others -- we all felt #15.5 would be a great close-out for 2010.
Of course, we have slots open for all the up-and-comers and rising talent out there, so they can showcase their skills. For info, holler at Tha Advocate: shadowfalinx@hotmail.com.
Make sure to support both Advo and Killah Priest at their official websites, ThaAdvocate.com and KillahPriest.com respectively, for more on both of these talented artists.

Early last month, we announced that the legendary Naughty By Nature were on board to host the 15th installment of our free Digital Dynasty mixtape series ... and the new tape is finally here.
"15 is a good solid number. Who better to host then legends in the game?" asks Tha Advocate, a member of the BallerStatus.com family and a rapper/producer hailing from New Jersey. "My dudes Naughty By Nature are going to help make Digital Dynasty 15 another milestone in hip-hop. We got up in Newark, did a photoshoot with them and the Garden State Greats ... I got some new material from them for this project, it's gonna be a smash from coast to coast."
For number 15, we put together a beast of a mixtape. Advo hit the studio and mixed nearly 40 tracks of new heat, some established, but mostly new, undiscovered talent. So, download, sit back and enjoy!
