    We’re concluding our Rawkus Records tribute with a Black Star mix. The dream team pairing of Mos Def and Talib Kweli defined the label and arguably led the resurgence of late 90’s, indie hip hop in NYC. We took their first single “Definition”, and layered it over a sparse, b-movie groove cobbled together from Shawn Lee’s “Spooky Street” and “Skunky Funky”. We deliberately went against our tendencies for the wall of sound approach to focus attention on the rhymes. Enjoy!

    Next week (possibly two) we’ll be giving some love to more of our unfinished sketches and “b-side beats” before we launch into our next mix series. Onwards to March Madness!
