Buhloone Mindstate 25th Anniversary Mixtape

De La Soul 'Buhloone Mindstate' 25th Anniversary Mixtape mixed by Chris Read

ARTNOIR (@artnoirco) is a global collective of culturalists and international non-profit who designs experiences aimed to engage this generation’s dynamic and diverse creative community. They offer an alternative perspective to the traditional arts narrative, support the freedom of artistic expression for all, and provide a platform for bold acts of creativity and storytelling. #artnoir

I was invited by ARTNOIR to create a mix to celebrate the opening of the third edition of Untitled Art, San Francisco and will be featured in the Untitled Art Podcast.(@untitledartpodcastlive) ##untitledartfair  

I decided to make a mix with some edge. In a time when electronic music has its dominance globally, its roots and richness and soul originates with Black people. This mix reflects the proliferation of that sound from Detroit to Atlanta, New Jersey to Nigeria, New York to London, Port-Au-Prince to Sweden, Kingston to Paris and beyond. It is our job as creatives of color to ensure our art is supported and amplified. Here is my contribution to this effort and in combination with this art fair, which also seeks to expand diversity in fine art, I'm grateful for the opportunity.

Exactly how well can a posthumous album reflect the artist in question? We compare the new Pop Smoke and Juice WRLD to the closest hip-hop has seen to a platonic ideal: Notorious B.I.G.'s Life After Death.
