As a huge fan of Common Market and Blue Scholars, I've wanted to do a mix like this for a LONG time. However, I knew if I were to throw on some acapella with Biggie talking about toting guns then it would kind of be a slap in the face to Sabzi and RA. It was just a matter of time until I found a sick verse that fitted the tone of the song. While it took a serious amount of chopping (this is one of the more difficult mixes I've done), it was definitely worth it.
This was made using Sabzi's "Connect For" and Murs' "Can It Be".
Oddisee is one of the many up-and-coming beatmakers in this new wave of production whose ability and raw talent is truly jaw-dropping. Just skip over Asher Roth's verse. Yuck. Arby Wan Kenobi
