During his appearance on the Big Boy Show, Kendrick Lamar paid tribute to Biggie on the 18th Anniversary of his passing with a freestyle over some of Big’s classic’s.
One of our favourites continues to impress as Tink unloads a Biggie inspired track titled ‘Ratchet Commandments’ which finds the Chicago singer & rapper taking all the chicken heads out there to task over a Timbaland production. #BigTrack
This past weekend marked the 20th anniversary of arguably one of the best hip hop albums to ever be made, Biggie’s ‘Ready To Die’, and to help us remember it’s greatness, Funk Flex & Mister Cee took to the decks and delivered a 50 minute set featuring nothing but Biggie classics.
Yellow Claw once again drop off a slice of grimy beats as they sample Biggie’s ‘Hypnotise’ for their latest Trap banger ‘DKNY’ which you can grab for free now via their Soundcloud page.
Fabolous keeps the visuals coming from his solid mixtape ‘Soul Tape 3’ with the Biggie sampled track ‘Playa’ which see’s the New York rhymer live that rappers life of strip clubs & hot whips.
Rico Love goes back in time and hooks up a remix of his own smash ‘Bitches Be Like’ by using the instrumental from Lil Kim’s ‘Crush On You’ and Biggie’s classic verse from ‘Get Money’.
In a recent sit down with VIBE, Nas spoke on how Biggie’s ‘Ready To Die’ going platinum was a realisation for the Queensbridge MC that rapping could be a legitimate career and recalls B.I.G phoning him when Nas’ himself hit platinum for the first time with his sophomore effort ‘It Was Written’.
It’s hard to believe that today marks the 17th anniversary of Biggie’s tragic passing and it’s even crazier to think that he was only 24 when he died. With only 2 solo albums and a Junior Mafia project released, no rapper has or will come close to having such a huge impact on the culture in such a short space of time, rest in peace B.I.G! #GOAT.
Peep below for some of our tribute mixtapes that we have produced over the last few years but still sound fresh today!
Not content with dropping his 8 track ep ‘Sinatra’ yesterday, Vado unloads another new track titled ‘Hay Now’ which features Coke Boy’s Chinx and see’s the duo going in over a sampled beat of Biggie’s classic ‘Hypnotise’.
