HipHopDX.com presents a tribute to the late Detroit emcee Big Proof on what would have been his 42nd birthday. Including new and exclusive music from Proof, D12, Obie Trice, and many other Detroit notables, this mixtape serves to celebrate the life of Big Proof and the legacy he has left in the form of the countless Detroit emcees and producers that he inspired. While we were able to include music from a comprehensive group of the people who called Proof a friend and mentor, please note that it would be impossible to include every artist whose life Proof touched in this single volume. We would also like to dedicate this to Proof's mother, Sherallene "Pepper" Holton-White (lovingly known as "Mama P"), who unfortunately passed away last week and was just as beloved as her son. Special thanks to Justin Hunte of HipHopDX, 1st Born of Iron Fist Records and The Original Hip Hop Shop, Teresa Squires, and all of the artists, producers, and managers who assisted in bringing this project together.
