Fam, do you realize how exhausting it is to get through 20 tracks on a mixtape? Maybe if you have an intro and outro, plus a few skits. But chances are, you’re putting every song you recorded the past 3 months on there, thinking they’re all great because nobody else told you otherwise. Or doing 10 new freestyles on a 22 track mixtape.
Why not keep that shit short and sweet (let’s say, 13 records) and really give listeners a chance to want more. Make those 10 records the hottest 10 records you have ever recorded up to this point in your career, release it, then watch it flourish.
Or give them 10 solid records, 7 fillers and 3 garbage tracks and call it a day.
