Acclaimed producer Theory Hazit presents 6 select remixed songs from Libretto & Vitamin D's collaborative album, Rusty Bladez.

Given Vitamin D's outstanding production on the original LP, reaching out for remixes was a tall order for any producer. But, Theory Hazit's unique swing and precise chops proved the perfect pairing with Libretto's raps & subject matter. Theory imbued each track with his signature flavor and was able to tap into the core elements of the songs to give them new sonic twists, all while maintaining their conceptual integrity and emotional weight.

Known also as an emcee, Theory added an excellent verse to "Never Enough" so that all three artists, Libretto, Vitamin D, and Theory Hazit's voices are now represented on the track.

Taken together, all six remixes on the LP showcase not just Theory's ability to make a hot beat, but also his ability to fully reimagine a project and give it a fresh cohesive feel.

Redman  "Tonight's Da Night"

Today marks an important day in history. Known as "De La Day" throughout the hip hop community, 3/3/23 marks the 35th Anniversary of De La Soul's Debut Album " 3 Feet High and Rising". It also marks a new age for De La and their fans as all of their music is now available on streaming services along with limited edition physical releases. After the long fight over royalty percentages and ownership of their music, paired with the recent passing of Trugoy The Dove, we can only imagine the whirlwind that Maceo, Pos and Prince Paul are facing. 

We wanted to revamp our series The 10s with a special, long overdue dedication and thank you to De La Soul and our supporters. "Plug Tunes" focuses on a few of De La's lesser known features as well as some known classics. The daisy flower symbolizes new beginnings as well as innocence and purity. De La gracefully mastered their own sound and lane that represents that perfectly. 

Happy De La Day from your friends at UNT.

This mix was inspired by a Little Brother interview I read a few years ago. In the interview, I remember the interviewer asked the group why they went with the name "Little Brother." The group replied that they chose the name because they felt that musically, they were the "little brother" of groups like ATCQ, De La Soul, and Slum Village. In the spirit of that interview, I put together a 40 minute mix of Tribe, De La, and Slum V classics titled "Big Brother." Same BlendingNationSounds mixing style that all of you have come to know and love. Enjoy."
