   In celebrating Double K, I wanted to find as much of his music as possible and finally answer some questions about his history of side projects, mixtapes, etc...
   We all know the People Under the Stairs catalog front and back, but I'm looking for info on non-PUTS Double K work.

   I'm already up on The Aesthetics Crew Family Circus mixtape, featuring some Double K raps, production, and cuts; There's his Uhhh I Hope Y'all Got Your Sunglasses On Out There mixtape with the Nas "One Love" Double K Remix; One of my favorites, Breakestra's "Family Rap" featuring Double and Chali 2na; and there's his recent instrumental album Clinophobia (While You Were Sleeping).

   There's also his side project Tha Brothaload from I think the 2000's comprised of Double, JazMak, Kidd Lexus and maybe Namad??? somebody fill me in on the members and any releases/track names/mixtapes they released. I have a mix that I downloaded a while back from hiphopphilosophy.com that sounds like a full solo album by Tha Brothaload with at least 17 different original songs. I think I got the link and info to download from this fan site?

   If anyone has info on Tha Brothaload, or you just want to share your favorite Double K music, holler here.

   wow there's so many but most not officially released. The dude who has the most stuff is AC The PD and has played quite a lot of unreleased Double K joints on Hip Hop Philosophy over the years (although the leak of the solo album was also from HHP, which iirc wasn't too cool a move). Links to some of that in this old thread.

   Really Double K was making music all the time but I think was too perfectionist to put much of it out.

   Official releases (although I may be forgetting some)...

   AC the PD and Double K did a mixtape on CD years ago Doin' What We Do, The Way We Do, When We Do What We Do...
   can peep it here:

   https://hiphopphilosophy.blogspot.com/2009/01/ac-pd-and-double-k-of-puts-mixtape.html

   ...
   Double K solo tracks on various compilations (most of these put out by Peter Agoston / Female Fun Records)

   Da Listening Party (2005?)
   Brotha Load - At Mike's House - This is the only official Brothaload release I believe
   Double K - About Me

   Natural Fun 2004
   Smoking A Blunt

   On Top of The World 2002
   Livin' A Mean One (The New Gangsta Gangsta)

   Ssence 2003
   Livin' A Mean One (The New Gangsta Gangsta) - same track title as the one above but this is a different track! So one must have another name...
   Skit
   The Mike Turner Story

   Then you got all the little cameos and funny characters Double K is known for on various guest appearances...
   Shawn Jackson's album (he plays a club bouncer)
   Ugly Duckling as K Jackson on Big Bank Take Little Bank and Meatshake album and few others
   He produced a track Cold for his homie Scrapploc. Was on limited CD and possibly available online somewhere...
   Time Machine put out a Glow Like This Mixtape with KK appearances
   Shawn Jackson's Boner Jamz mixtape
   Chris Clarke - Handpicked album (feat on 2 tracks; LAFD and This Tha Vibe)

   Joint 7" released, 500 copies I think with Olde Soul. Dope instrumentals...

   ...
   Double K and Dooley-O worked on a collab album called The Double-O Project that never materialised. But there's a track called Uncle Nut produced by Double K on Dooley-O's O.G. Status album, 2013. You can find an instrumental version too. And HHP uploaded another track too..

   ...
   Double K also produced a track for Villain Park - W.M.N.A. Double K's younger brother Smoke is in the group and their latest album also features Pookie Blow, KK's sister.

   The Brothaload was his main side project. Included Jazmak, Kidd Lexus, Ant Pup. All production by Double K as far as I'm aware with at least 25 - 30 tracks made around 2002-2003? Although some of these might have been for Kidd Lexus solo project 'Delayed Reaction'.

   Finally, another unreleased side project...

   High Risk (Law Dogs) - Double K & Two B (aka Beloved / BLVME) Risky Business album...

   Back 2 Tha World - this definitely sounds like it also features Comel from Time Machine

   Fashion Police

   Back 2 Tha World (HHP remix version?)

   Thanks YoYo! This is exactly what I was looking for, you rock. I definitely remember the thread on here years ago about how the hiphopphilosophy.com album drop was against Double K's wishes. Makes me think of Thes' IG post about how he and Double and talked about not wanting unreleased work being released posthumously. Hopefully there's some Double K-sanctioned unreleased material that will come out, we'll see.

   LA Mike dropped The Family Circus mixtape with The Aesthetics Crew. Ton of tracks on there with LA Mike credits. I think it was a digital only release back in 2012. Shout out to Zune media player on my old laptop for reminding me about this while going through my music library. Funny enough there is a song called The Zune on the mixtape. Link to the mixtape in SoundCloud below:

    I know generally frowned upon but does anyone know the song for the intro and outro on Mike's "Sunglasses" mixtape - the one with the sick sick (sick) guitar? Thank you

    Is that the one with the DOC over "enunciate well so that you can tell I am not illiterate no not even a little bit..."

    must be a P Funk groove... someone might be able to identify?

    Don’t think I saw this mentioned but he appears on a skit for Speech Defect: https://youtu.be/LD_iWFahbW8 (Thes rhymes on a separate track on the album).
