In the past year, Sean J has dropped a free full length album and a mixtape with his colleague. Wait! The year isn't over. The Ego Egg Mixtape, presented by Flip Them Guys & Domination Recordings, is Sean J's way of ending this year with a bang. The title of the project is a spun off of his last solo mixtape, The Ego Has Landed (his last effort before his 2 year hiatus). This mixtape features production from his long time partner Nine Six (formerly known as Epidemmik), his current melodic brother Soy is Real, and the creative sample-selector Unselftitled.
"On my albums, I'm very polite as far as the direction I take," says Sean, "I usually just fill it with content. My lyricism won't be that technically complex. It will be very direct. If I have witty lines, the content of it isn't so harsh... But on mixtapes, especially a one with this title, I throw all of that out of the window. I go all out. Its all about wordplay, raw punchlines, patterns, cadences, etc... The braggin' type of raps are needed every now and then. That's a part of hip hop! Yes, it should be balanced out. So consider this the extreme of it."
The three main singles "Unstoppable", "Talk About (She Says)", and "Elevate" balance out different approaches of his lyricism. Matter in fact, he isn't the only one mouthing off... He came with a few friends. There's guest appearances from TZariZM & MidaZ the BEAST (both from Doxside Music Group), Shinobi Stalin (Civil Mics, Vets of Kin), and guest production by the brazil-native Mental Abstracto (Domination Recordings). Let The Ego Egg be a introduction to Sean J's new year plan, including his next album A Man of Means.

Being the 3rd official single from The Ego Egg mixtape, "Elevate" (produced by Unselftitled) marks the completion of Sean J's long awaited project. The single brings a hard drum loop with melodic harps as Sean J flips a few one liners and punchlines relating to a similiar theme. "Elevate" is also in the plans of having a music video shot for it as well. The Ego Egg mixtape, presented by Domination Recordings & Flip Them Guys, will be release on the internet for free download on Wednesday, December 1st, 2010.
Before the music video for "Unstoppable" (the 1st single for The Ego Egg mixtape) gets editted for your viewing pleasure, Sean J and Soy (collectively known as Flip Them Guys) decided to put use to Soy's HD pocket video camera for the song "FTW (Big Bulge Music)". This Soy-directed music video can be considered a semi-trailor for The Ego Egg. "FTW (Big Bulge Music)" is featured and available for download on the Suggestive Listening Mixtape presented by The9Elements.com. The Ego Egg mixtape and the music video for "Unstoppable" will be dropping soon. Until then, enjoy this treat.
While The Ego Egg mixtape is trying to get finished and the music video for the 1st single "Unstoppable" is getting prepared, Sean J decide to release the official 2nd single for the project. "Talk About (She Says)" is the first track done in months with Sean J and Soy (producer) in the same room, working on a song from scratch. Since the majority of the mixtape's feel is themed from its title (cocky, egotistical, etc..), "Talk About" is a highlight since its one of the only few songs that Sean J gets a bit personal for his audience. The Ego Egg mixtape still doesn't have a definate release date, but it will be dropping soon under Domination Recordings.
