“Amazing job, haven’t listened to all of it but what I’ve heard is top notch. Good stuff man, thank you for sending it…” – Neil Armstrong, Jay-Z’s DJ
I’m very proud to drop this mixtape, hoping it reaches the ears of people who love DJing, hip-hop and especially the music of Mr. West.
This man has had a career like no other. He has given classic beats and hooks to everyone from Janet Jackson to Rick Ross, he invented the soul sound, and what I like most about him is he has great vision. I can spend hours trying to explain how innovative this guy is, but I’d rather we get back to the matter at hand. His music has everything it needs to chart, get critical acclaim but you can tell he’s driving hardest at creating that classic sample-heavy hip-hop, soul and new school sound. I mean, how many guys do 60 mixes of a song before it comes out?
ABOUT THIS TAPE. I lack fanciness in writing and in the artwork (which I did myself), but I promise you my skills as a DJ are sharp as a ginsu on this tape. It took me 3 weeks, probably between 100 – 200 hours to get it right (I’m picky). I really went deep in to give music fans something articulate: scratches, digital juggles, lots of blends, studio edits and tricks. If you play it on an iPod or in iTunes, the tracks are all chapters and there’s a pic for every chapter representing the song. I’d like people to rate this among the best tapes ever, but you guys be the judge, diss it, love it, hate it, whatever, let me know what you think.

This is the most amazingly creative and fun mix I have ever heard. Respect.
Unreal.
Yo… U got posted on hiphopdx… Big ups on the thousands of downloads coming your way… In my opinion that’s big… and its also well deserved for a funkytech that rep’d for his crew and city and had to battle the likes of Dopey, Lil’ Jazz and his own crew member Jr.Flo… Big up to all the real DJ’s in the city of Toronto and M-Rock for reppin for all the real DJ’s/Turntablists around the world… EZ
Great mix please update with better sound quality at least 256 kbs
Good looking. Perfect blend that delivers from start to end. Thanks for the hard work, it doesn’t go unnoticed.
Hey I really want to listen to your new Kanye mixtape on my Zune HD but for some reason it says something about a video. I researched a bit and some said it was because of the file format but I have other songs of the same format. So, I think the length of the song is the problem (not for me but the Zune). I was wondering if you could make the mixtape into separate songs if that wasn’t too much to ask. Thanks
Absolutely tremendous!
I had to convert it to mp3 for my portable music player, if anyone else wants to dl it:
