Kc And Jojo Mixtape Mp3 Download

[Karoline]

Cant Take that Away from Me is the first mixtape by American pop-R&B singer JoJo. The free mixtape was released exclusively to Rap-Up.com on September 7, 2010, as a prelude to her third studio album "Jumping Trains" which is set to be released in 2012.

Agpē is the second mixtape by American pop-R&B singer JoJo.[1] It is of EP length, unlike the previous mixtape. The mixtape was announced in early November 2012. JoJo recorded material specifically intended for the mixtape as she did not want to keep her fans waiting for new music any longer. Released on her 22nd birthday on December 20, 2012, it marked the follow-up to her 2010 mixtape Can't Take That Away from Me, which spawned the single and video for "In the Dark". The mixtape's first single "We Get By" was released for free online on November 15, 2012 on JoJo's official SoundCloud with a limited number of downloads, with JoJo stating that "there's a limit on the download because we want you to download the entire mixtape once it's released". She recorded the song with a group of her friends known as The Backpackkids who all got together to create what they call "genre-less music".[2]

In late 2012 Interscope Records dropped Blackground Records from their distribution, resulting in JoJo's third album, then titled Jumping Trains, being unable to be released. JoJo has experienced ongoing issues with her label including a reluctance to release new music including the album's first single "Demonstrate", leading to the album's release being delayed many times. As a result, JoJo began recording new material to be used specifically for a new mixtape to be released by the end of 2012.[3]

JoJo describes Agpē as a "labor of love from the heart without limits or boundaries."[4][5] In an interview with VibeVixen when describing the tape JoJo said "I would say this is definitely the most cohesive body of work. It's more of an experience, there's more interludes," she says. "It'll kind of let you in on what's been happening in my personal life, my family. It really plays on me being from Massachusetts, me living in L.A. and finding myself in between those two worlds, not feeling like I necessarily belong anywhere, but I guess that's how most people feel in their 20s anyway."[4]

On November 15, 2012, just two months before the mixtape's release, JoJo officially announced that she had been working on her second free mixtape that was scheduled to be released on her 22nd birthday on December 20, 2012, however recording for the mixtape had already begun as early as January 2012 as she "didn't wan't to keep the fans waiting for new music any longer". Due to ongoing issues with her label, Blackground Records, which have been reluctant to release any new music (including the single, "Demonstrate", which has led to the album's release to be delayed many times), JoJo began recording new material to be used specifically for a brand new mixtape.

Agpē was written and recorded over six days while Janet Jackson's Velvet Rope Tour played on a studio television for inspiration, with one song completed each day.[6][7][8] While "Andre" and "Can't Handle the Truth" had already been recorded prior to the mixtape's production, as "Can't Handle the Truth" was originally recorded for JoJo's much delayed third album, she gained permission from the songs producer Boi-1da to release the track on the mixtape instead.[8][9] The first track written for the tape was the mixtape's lead single "We Get By".[8]

The final track, "Can't Handle the Truth", was written by JoJo while production was handled by Boi-1da. Originally, the song was recorded for her third album but was used on the mixtape instead. When describing the song JoJo states "It's about cheating and basically blaming it on the guy. Saying like 'You are responsible for my infidelity because you made me this way and you can't handle it because you're such a fucking idiot.'"[10]

Agpē is JoJo's first official release to contain explicit lyrics. There are a few tracks on the tape that refer to drug use and sex as heard on "We Get By" and "Billions", respectively. "Take the Canyon" contains the lyrics "I'm always coming over and smoking you out because everything is better with a blunt in your mouth". When asked about the drug references during an interview with TheYoungFolks.com, JoJo states

"I knew that it was just going to be an opportunity to present myself in a way that was true to what some kids my age are doing, experiencing and thinking about. I just wanted to paint a true picture... and I think that there are still some things that women aren't "suppose [sic] to say," you know what I mean? So, it's kind of jarring to hear that. I was more concerned about being respected as a good woman but still expressing myself like the Bostonian I am."[10]

JoJo did a four song acoustic set list on the "Rap-UpTV Sessions" through Rap-Up.com where she performed "Andre", "Demonstrate", "Marvin's Room" and "Like That", a cut from her 2006 sophomore album The High Road.[20][21] Due to popular demand JoJo is set to release the full extended version of "Thinking Out Loud". JoJo's reasons for not releasing the whole song on the mixtape is because she gets very self-conscious of her work, and wasn't sure whether she was going to release it or not.[10] JoJo also scheduled several music video for songs from the mixtape including "Andre", "Thinking Out Loud" and "Can't Handle the Truth".

In support of the mixtape JoJo embarked on a nationwide tour hitting the East Coast and other cities in the United States as well as Canada. She met with her agency in January 2013 to sort out a specific route for the tour.[10] On August 28, 2013 JoJo announced the first five tour dates entitled "The Agpē Tour" via her official Twitter page with special guest Leah Labelle as the opening act.[22][23]

"We Get By" was released as the lead single from the mixtape and premiered online on November 15, 2012.[5] the song was written by JoJo, Austin Brown, Scott Bruzenak, and Tommy Parker, while production was handled by the Backpackkids.[24] JoJo has described the song as "genre-less music".[5] When describing the song, JoJo claimed "It's kind of about me moving from South Boston to Los Angeles and my decision to do that. Feeling like I needed a place to explore and grow."[10]

"Thinking Out Loud" was released intended as the mixtape's third single, including the full extended version of the song (as Agpē only includes a snippet of the song) and premiered in May 2013. The song was written by JoJo, Austin Brown, and Scott Bruzenak who also handled the song's production. Due to popular demand for the extended version of the song JoJo decided to choose "Thinking Out Loud" as the mixtape's third single. The accompanying music video for "Thinking Out Loud" was directed by Aaron A. Filming for the video began on March 29, 2013 in downtown Los Angeles. The music video has yet to be released.

JoJo didn't want to keep her fans waiting for new music due to ongoing label issues; thus, she began recording material specifically for the mixtape.[40] Originally JoJo thought of naming the mixtape Live Free or Die after the New Hampshire state motto (which inspired the tattoo on the back of her neck), but upon further thought, JoJo stated "it sounded dramatic and militant and scary. And that is SO not what this is all about! Its really about friends coming together and bonding over a mutual love for music then seeing what grows out of it. Not about industry politics, agendas, empty-promises, ego, swag, pretension, or a budget of any kind."[41]

When describing the mixtape JoJo says "This mixtape is meant to be experienced when you have 27-28 minutes to go on a little journey with me and listen to some stories. There are interludes, outerludes, random shit, my dad playing harmonica, and a conversation between my whole family at Thanksgiving." Agpē has been described as a "labor of love from the heart without limits or boundaries."[11][43]

Can't Take that Away from Me is the first mixtape by American singer JoJo. It was self-released by the singer for free download exclusively through Rap-Up.com on September 7, 2010. The mixtape was to serve as a prequel to her third studio album, which at the time was titled All I Want Is Everything (her third studio album, Mad Love, would eventually be released in 2016).[1][2] JoJo wrote or co-wrote all but one of the mixtape's 11 tracks, which she worked on with a variety of producers, including Beau Dozier, Theron "Neff-U" Feemster, Chad Hugo, Kenna, The Messengers, and Oak, among others. The mixtape was not made commercially available and is not available on streaming services.

Following the release of The High Road, JoJo stated that she had been writing and working with producers for her third studio album, but would not go into the studio until early 2008.[4] In mid-2008, JoJo revealed that the album, titled All I Want Is Everything, was scheduled for a fourth quarter release that year, to coincide with her eighteenth birthday in December.[5] However, the album's release was delayed due to issues with her record labels, Blackground and its imprint Da Family Entertainment, which had encountered financial difficulties. Eventually, JoJo decided to sue the labels to be released from her contract.[6] However, in October 2009, JoJo reached a deal with Blackground Records, who had reached a deal with Interscope Records for distribution.[7] The mixtape served as a "re-entry to the music industry".[8]

In late 2009, JoJo stated that she would be working on her first mixtape with producers Clinton Sparks and Chester French.[9] The mixtape's recording took place over one year. JoJo thought that it was more experimental than her album because she "was able to explore the full spectrum of things that interest me and inspire me musically", which resulted in a broad range of sounds, such as pop, hip-hop and soulful records. Compared to an album release, the mixtape allowed JoJo to be "more soulful, incorporate live instruments, and say things that I wouldn't normally say on an album. I was just able to take more of a risk."[8] The mixtape's black-and-white cover was designed by Mowie Inc. and photographed by Steven Taylor.[1]
