Earlier today i posted the Tracklist to keep you over till the Tape drops…
It’s finally there and trust me it’s worth the wait. I put a lot of effort in this mixin,labeling and arranging the tracklisting.
All joints are NO DJ for your listening pleasure!
This year marks my 2 Year anniversary for my mix compilation that i dropped on this day around 2 years back. I thought it was just right to bring it back as i gained more people who check out this Site quite regularly.
I thought an Re-Issue woulde be right because i dropped so much stuff throughout the years and never updated this tape till now…
As you have to wait till later today till i drop this, i thought i give you a little taste in form of a Tracklist
And before some of y’all start moaning: Yes I’m aware that this isn’t just all Hip Hop.haha
Let’s take it back 4-5 years when Kanye West released his “Late Registration” LP which also contained this Joint which was only 2 minutes long and featured a one minute verse of Common.
Since Consequence dropped his version today i decided to take his last Verse and tack it onto Common’s Original.
The Track was produced by Kanye West and samples “Home Is Where The Hatred Is” by the late Gil Scott Heron.
Here’s a new Treat for you Hip Hop Heads! A Best of Compilation of the last 3 months in Hip Hop featuring the likes of Big Boi,Reflection Eternal,Nas,Jada and many more! This also features 2 of my Mixes!

Shoutout to Ivan of HipHopIsRead.com for the featuring and the heads up!
Gil Scott Heron,was 61 year old Jazz Musician and good friend of Nas’ Father Olu Dara hooked up with Nas for the Remix and with Mos Def for the Album Version of his Song called “New York is Killing Me”.
Kinda smooth and knocking Beat plus dope lyrics by Scott-heron,Mos and Nas make this song a good piece.
Enjoy the Song!
Update May 28th: Unfortunately Gil Scott Heron has passed away today. My condolences go out to his Family.
