Peace Lord.  You bring to mind a quote by the God Guru: "1 of the Best".  I can listen to this everyday. 

Celebrating 30 years of A Tribe Called Quest's 'Low End Theory'.  How do you follow up a 5-mic debut album??  With a 5-mic sophomore LP!  Everything about this album is a MASTERPIECE....from the abstract cover art, to the jazz-infused production emphasizing the LOW END, to the rhymes traded effortlessly between Q-Tip and Phife (R.I.P.).  Genius-level artistry.
This album represented a defining moment in hip hop, so I HAD to pay tribute with a mix incorporating the original samples, remixes, and blends.

Tribute mix celebrating Pete Rock & CL Smooth's masterpiece 'The Main Ingredient', which turned 30 recently.
'Mecca & The Soul Brother' is the more iconic/important album, but Main Ingredient slowly became my favorite over the years.....for a lot of the same reasons I lean to ATCQ's Midnight Marauders over Low End Theory.
Pete's production went from a harder/dusty sound on MATSB, to a warm/melodic vibe on TMI.  The samples Pete chose hit your soul in that sweet spot:  from Cannonball Adderley on 'In The House', to George Benson on 'I Get Physical' + 'In The Flesh', to Roy Ayers on 'Searching'....masterful.  Pair that with CL's smooth voice & flow, and your soul starts to vibrate....

This is a cover of Betty Mabry's second single, later known as the funk goddess Betty Davis. Costa's dad, Don Costa, produced the original track, and Betty's funk influence has been felt throughout Nikka's musical career.

JB: A Tribute to James Brown

I'm excited to announce that I've partnered with the world's leading sample I.D. website, WhoSampled.com to bring you my Hip Hop Tribute To Aretha Franklin. Many know her as the 'Queen Of Soul', but may not realize that she could also be considered the Queen of Hip Hop Samples, with her music being used in hundreds of songs. This is not meant to be a compilation of her greatest hits....Instead, I've compiled some of my favorite hip hop tracks that sampled her music, while incorporating Aretha's original work, as well as my own custom blends, flips, & edits.
