I grew up in Brooklyn, NY in the projects during era of “the blaxploitation” flicks.  That term is considered derogatory, but it’s reference immediately conveys a universal understanding among Black folks and transports many of us who grew up during this era to a time where we played outside until the lights came on.  When we pretended to wear high heels using crushed soda or beer cans. And when we we’d lie to our friends about going to see Dolomite and Foxy Brown in the movie theaters knowing good and well our parents would be nuts to take 6 or 7 years old to what would have been considered an R rated movie.  The soundtracks to most of these flicks were fire though and when I decided to work on this project, I wanted the first remix to take me back to the style of music from my early childhood days.  Awesome fond memories…
