Mixtapes are usually crafted by rappers and unsigned artists, but R&B dude Raheem DeVaughn is breaking that mold with his latest 19-track compilation, The Art of Noise. The Grammy-nominated artist’s mix is set to provide listeners with “emotional stimulus” in a world climate that is under extreme duress.

“These are difficult times we are living in and everyone is affected, directly or indirectly,” says DeVaughn. “We all know someone that has lost a job, a house, or simply struggling just to make ends meet. If we all do a little, no one has to do a lot.”

The Art of Noise, available for download at 368musicgroup.com, is a prelude to DeVaughn’s highly anticipated third album, The Love and War MasterPeace, due out later this year.
