Roc-A-Fella’s official video for Pray. Shot during his recent American Gangster tour.

So after posting the incredibly dope new eMC record with Little Brother. I get an email regarding this mixtape from the same producer (Quincey Tones). I’ve given it two spins so far and dude flipped the whole remix thing on a whole new level. Mixing Nas vocal’s with samples that we’re used on American Gangster and so on. Shit is real dope. Don’t sleep.

Running the contest on HipHopDX resulted in 100+ submissions and we had plans of doing a “best of” but damn. There is no way in hell that we could go through that many and pick the best of each. So a big shout out to Kevin Nottingham is in order as he took the time to put together a little mix of (his) best remixes. Looking over the tracklist, he did a good job. Volume two on the way.
