The Chocolate Lipstick Mixtape Series:

A Movement More Than a Mix — Where Underground Voices Become Unforgettable

 


In the ever-evolving landscape of hip-hop, mixtapes have always had a sacred place—those raw, unfiltered collections where culture is born, not borrowed. From the mixtapes of DJ Drama and Tony Smooth to the grassroots releases that birthed entire regional sounds, the mixtape is where underground becomes unforgettable. The Chocolate Lipstick Mixtape Series, presented by DJ 750 and DJ Mr. Lee, has taken its place among these storied traditions—not by accident, but by relentless cultivation and cultural devotion.

For fans across the globe, Chocolate Lipstick isn’t just a series of tracks — it’s a platform, a discovery engine, and a declaration of underground excellence. (Instagram)

From Two Visionaries, a Cultural Institution

The series is a collaboration between two seasoned curators:

  • DJ 750, a respected tastemaker and co-host of the Chocolate Lipstick franchise whose influence extends through mixtapes, radio programming, and cultural advocacy; (certifiedmixtapez.com)

  • DJ Mr. Lee, the Dallas-based DJ and executive whose intuitive ear for emerging talent has made him a cornerstone of underground hip-hop culture. (Instagram)

Together, they’ve created something that transcends the idea of a “mixed tape” — it’s an ongoing cultural chronicle of underground hip-hop’s most dynamic voices. From early volumes to the now legendary Volume 11, the mixtape chronicles not only music but the momentum of an underground ecosystem that’s refusing to be ignored. (Audiomack)

A Catalog That’s Changing the Game

The Chocolate Lipstick series is robust — with more than ten volumes released and more in the pipeline. Each volume is a curated collection of fresh voices, wild beats, street classics, and bold statements — tracks that might never have found a home on mainstream rotation but have infected underground culture with new energy. The latest offering, Chocolate Lipstick Vol. 11, dropped near the end of 2025 — a testament to the series’ longevity and relevance. (Audiomack)

What’s remarkable isn’t just the number — it’s the consistency and quality behind each release. DJ 750 and DJ Mr. Lee don’t just drop tracks — they craft sequences that tell stories, set moods, and elevate voices that might otherwise be overlooked. Volume after volume, they prove that underground hip-hop is not a trend — it’s a force. (certifiedmixtapez.com)

The Series as a Launchpad for Artists

Chocolate Lipstick operates as a springboard. Artists featured on these mixtapes gain something beyond placement — they get access to audiences, validation from respected curators, and the kind of underground buzz that becomes industry momentum.

The series has showcased artists from across the U.S., blending fresh phenoms with seasoned underground vets. While some volumes pull listeners straight into gritty street narratives, others highlight soulful flows, female emcees, and boundary-breaking soundscapes — all flowing under one thematic umbrella. (Instagram)

This diversity isn’t accidental. It’s intention — a deliberate showcasing of hip-hop’s many voices, including those often side-lined by mainstream outlets.

A Cultural Pulse, Not a Fad

Mixtapes have always been a reflection of the moment — raw, rapid, and responsive. Chocolate Lipstick holds that tradition while expanding it. The series:

  • Celebrates female voices and underground talents; (Instagram)

  • Bridges regional styles from the South, Midwest, and beyond; (Instagram)

  • Amplifies culture before it’s commercialized, allowing the sound to speak first, then monetize later. (Instagram)

This is not just about tracks — it’s about curation as a cultural statement.

Powered by Community, Propelled by Passion

Chocolate Lipstick resonates because it was built with heart and heritage. DJ 750 and DJ Mr. Lee are not outsiders looking in — they are participants and architects of the culture, respected by artists, fans, and industry alike.

Their chemistry elevates each volume beyond standard mixtape fare. Where lesser compilations feel stitched together, Chocolate Lipstick feels designed — like a narrative with rhythm, voice, and intention.

Whether streamed on Audiomack, shared on social reels, or heard over underground radio frequencies, these mixtapes serve as snapshots — not just of sounds, but of moments, movements, and the lifeblood of a network confident in its own voice. (Audiomack)

A Legacy in Motion

Chocolate Lipstick isn’t past its peak — it’s still expanding. With every new volume, the series distances itself further from trend cycles and closer to legacy territory.

Why? Because culture doesn’t respect speed — it respects depth, and Chocolate Lipstick has depth in every layer.

It represents:

  • Fresh discovery

  • Artist empowerment

  • Curatorial excellence

  • Underground elevation

And perhaps most importantly, it represents a dialogue — between the beats, the bars, the DJs, the fans, and the culture at large.

What Comes Next

As the series continues to grow, listeners and artists alike should expect even bigger things. More volumes. Broader reach. Greater influence. More voices that demand to be heard.

What was once an underground passion project is now one of hip-hop’s most serious curated bodies of work — and it’s still writing its story.

The Chocolate Lipstick Mixtape Series is more than a collection of tracks — it’s a living archive of what hip-hop sounds like when artists are free to create, and DJs are fearless enough to feature them first.

And for listeners, that means one simple truth:

The culture just got richer — because Chocolate Lipstick just keeps pouring. (threads.com)

  PM00DY: The Quiet Architect of Houston’s Next Wave     Houston, Texas — a city known for its wide-open highways, cosmic skyline, and a hip-hop legacy as rich and profound as any in the country. From the chopped-and-screwed pioneers to the next generation of sonic innovators, Texas culture has always moved at its own rhythm — slow, heavy, and undeniable. If Houston’s musical legacy were a living organism, it would beat with the pulse of its streets, its studios, its artists — and behind many of those beats is a figure whose influence is profound yet rarely spotlighted: PM00DY . She is not the artist on stage. She is not the name in the title sequence. She is the woman in the background whose work makes stars brighter, careers sustainable, and dreams tangible. She is a manager, a promoter, a strategist… a quiet force in a city that respects results more than rhetoric. And right now, Houston is watching her ascent. The Manager Who Builds, Not Brands In a culture o...
