DJ BABY YU-TRIBUTE TO THE GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME

WHOA! Dj Baby Yu really outdid himself with this massive remix tribute to the late great Notorious B.I.G. This mix has been floating around for a while but there’s no better time than now to post it. It’s hard to believe that yesterday marked the thirteenth anniversary of his death.

Paying rightful homage to Biggie, this selection has 72 memorable songs (samples, remixes etc.) to rock out to.

TEASER: JAY ELECTRONICA – DEAR MOLESKINE (ALTERNATE)

Alternate visuals for Jay Electronica’s soon-to-drop-joint “Dear Moleskine” trip to Nepal. Everyone’s talking about Drake’s album not living up to the hype, I hope Jay doesn’t fall into that same category. Blasphemy, I know, but which one would be more disappointing if it was weak?

FOOTAGE: SKI – TAXI (FEAT. MOS DEF)

Here’s a sneak peak of some more DD172 magic – this time involving Ski Beats and Mos Def for a dope-sounding track called “Taxi“. Mos is one of the premiere writers of our generation. I admire his ability to say so much with very few words on certain joints.
