Originating as a home-made audio cassette mix, a mixtape is now known as a digital compilation of music typically hosted by a DJ.  Unlike albums, mixtapes aren’t composed to promote singles or generate sales. Essentially mixtapes are a free gift for hip hop lovers. Mixtapes are also a good way for emerging artists to build their fan base. New-comers such as Kodak Black, PnB Rock, Lil Yachty and Kamaiyah have all benefited from dropping debut mixtapes.  After an artist has paired their ready-to-go project with some awesome cover art, it’s time to release the tracks to the masses. Here are the 5 best mixtape hosting websites:  DatPiff When it comes to mixtapes, [DatPiff](http://www.datpiff.com/) reigns supreme. It’s the main source for mixtapes and DJ mixes. Some of your favorite rappers including Future, Fabolous and Pusha T. use DatPiff for self-released projects. Live Mixtapes Another popular mixtape website is [Live Mixtapes](http://www.livemixtapes.com/main.php). It’s simple and functional. There’s also an “Indy Tapes” section for indie artists. Live Mixtapes also has mobile capability. Spinrilla [Sprinrilla](https://spinrilla.com/) has a plethora of mixtapes ranging from established artists to new artists. The “Charts” section shows the top mixtapes of the day, week, or month. Sprinrilla also has a popular app, making it easy for fans to listen on-the go. Hot New Hip Hop [Hot New Hip Hop](http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/) is a well respected site that features the latest singles, mixtapes and videos. Although it’s a good option to host a mixtape, it’s not the best option for music discovery. My Mixtapez [My Mixtapez](http://mymixtapez.com/) has a growing platform with a very interactive social media following. Meek Mill, Migos, Rich Home Quan and many more are use My Mixtapes regularly. ![Allison Hazel](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hubfs/ally.jpg) ### Written by [Allison Hazel](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/list/author/allison-hazel) Allison Hazel is a music blogger/journalist from NYC.
