  # An EP is a so-called “Extended Play” release and often

  # Promotional in nature (but not necessarily free), mixtapes
  # and street albums are often released by artists to promote new artists, or
  # upcoming studio albums by prominent artists. They are also sometimes used to
  # keep fans’ attention between studio releases and are most common in rap & hip
  # hop genres. They are often not sanctioned by the artist’s label, may lack proper
  # sample or song clearances and vary widely in production and recording quality.
  # While mixtapes are generally DJ-mixed, they are distinct from commercial DJ
  # mixes (which are usually deemed compilations) and are defined by having a
  # significant proportion of new material, including original production or
  # original vocals over top of other artists’ instrumentals. They are distinct from
  # demos in that they are designed for release directly to the public and fans, not
  # to labels.
