Well friends, the wait is over. Playlistings has returned for a special Summer Release. Bendey and I couldn’t hold it back, there are just too many dope songs that you need to be jammin’ to this summer. Some of them you’ve probably heard before if you’ve kept up with TheDKALife, but there are a plethora of other new tracks on this edition.
As some of you may know, Bendey’s blog Vivid Underground has been dissolved to make way for Bendey.com. Bendey has decided to keep his new site professional and use it primarily to display his talents. Props to him. Go check it out. www.Bendey.com
Here’s what Matt had to say:
“I just wanted to make this one be special. It’s been a while since we (DKA) crashed heads and I think we got a good release here…new, smart, and guaranteed to kick-start anyone’s summer.
As something that I love to do, but suddenly find it hard to set aside time and resources to enjoy; Playlistings has taken a backseat to some of the ‘more important’ things in life. This is the part where you say, “hey yo Bender, man up! I thought you had balls, sir. You gettin’ soft?” To which I would reply with a swift slap to your face. Instead of Playlistings releases coming every few weeks, they may become more sporadic throughout the year, but 10x more special. With this Summer Release, I wanted to communicate that. The design, much like a timeless leather-bound book, should show you’ve got something special here. Enjoy it.”
We’re both busy. No guarantees there will be any future releases. If there are, you will find them released exclusively at The DKA Life. It will all depend if I have the time to compile the tracks and if Bendey has the time to make a dope cover. So many responsibilities these days. Growin’ up sucks.
So without further adieu, I hope you’ve already hit the download button and are eagerly awaiting the status bar to be at 100%. I think you will be pleasantly satisfied with this Playlistings. Tell all your friends and family & feel free to leave comments and let me know what you think.
DKA out.
Disclaimer: All of these tracks have been released by the artist’s themselves. Thus, I find it fair to compile them into one magnificent mixtape. Upon any request, the link will be removed immediately.

Bendey's album artwork section in his portfolio has gotta be full by now. ha
Beautiful artwork once again from Mr. UAC himself.
I’m overcome with great sadness to announce that this will be the final Playlistings mixtape to release. Some of you may have noticed that past links have been removed by the RIAA because of copyright infringements. Although the VividUnderground and the DKALife attempt to bring you each day’s newest worry-free tracks that circumnavigate the globe within seconds each day in a legal manner, we can’t guarantee that each track doesn’t slip through the cracks and somehow inevitably prevents a multi-millionaire from making that down payment on a Bentley covered in gold (Bender is a little salty haha. I blame the record labels more than the artists themselves, since its normally the artists that are proud to show their new work *G.O.O.D Friday’s for example…one of the reasons I love hiphop is because the artists are constantly putting out great material…record label or not. In today’s world, you don’t really NEED a record label to be successful. ie. Cudi’s “Day and Night”, Drake’s “Best I Ever Had”. You just have to be good enough to get the attention of other artists and bloggers..and well, people)
I wouldn’t say there will NEVER be another Playlistings…but we’re definitely going to take a break. So enjoy it. Its been a pleasure.
