Solid Steel (25th April) 20 years ago Nas released his legendary Illmatic album and DJ Moneyshot has put together an outstanding tribute mix 'Nas - Half-Man Half-Amazing'. As with the previous tribute mixes for the Beastie Boys, De La Soul and Public Enemy, it's more an audio documentary threading together sample sources, interview footage and remixes alongside the original Illmatic tracks. Hear the vocabulary, the flow and the rhythm expertly delivered by Nas, backed up by the sublime production of Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Large Professor and Q-Tip, plus original samples from Lee Erwin, The Heath Brothers, Ahmad Jamal and Reuben Wilson. All this deconstructed and rebuilt by Moneyshot for another classic Solid Steel edition.

FINALLY finished this mix paying tribute to one of the most influential producer to walk this earth! Took 3 months to finish but have probably been working on it in my head since I heard Hardcore Hip Hop for the first time in 85!! Hope you like guy's, this was definatly a Labour of love, big respect to the one and only MANTRONIK!!!!!

Mantronik - The Master of Sound

Well, here it is. Off my Timkins Capital Rap Show tape 12-4am 1st September 1990. It's as best quality as I could get after EQ'ing,
I asked BigDaddyKane about this and why it wasn't released but he had no idea. Anyway the lyrics were rehashed for "Put Your Weight on It" on the LP "Taste of Chocolate".  Enjoy! ...(",   )

Get respect
