Essential Mix 2010-08-07 - Zane Lowe V Mark Ronson & Grandmaster Flash

This mix was intended to be our last release of this year in our 20 year series but with the recent loss of one of the best West Coast emcee's, we felt that this light needs to shine bright.
Gift of Gab inspired us, entertained us, and through his music show'd all of us to pursue happiness and be grateful for all we have.
It was an absolute pleasure to have been able to work on this project with him.
Please Enjoy!
