Nice remix project from DJ Mick and Davy Dave (Pilskills) coming to ya all the way from Germany.
Davy Dave teams up with DJ Mick but this time mash-ups are not on the table… Well, not explicitly at least. What you get on this lushly packaged cd is 21 remixes (essentially) of hip hop classics - some obvious some a bit more obscure, all of them great though! Mixed into one flowing piece of music!
Tracklist after the jump. Buy the CD here.

Like I stated before our downtime CTR could def use a lot more old school records so let’s jump it off with a seventeen-year-old-still-fresh joint from Black Sheep. Things are obviously still crazy as far as time constraints go so I’ll let DJ Fatboy of RapReviews.com handle this one. Review and tracklist after the jump.

Gravity Sample Track
Continuing on with or addition of more old school albums to CTR’s archives here’s the highly acclaimed sophomore LP from Da Bush Babees. I personally only discovered these cats about one or two years ago, but they seem to fit right in with the rest of my listening patterns. Gravity, which is probably the first LP to master the art of blending hip-hop and reggae in a way that leaves no emptiness or further craving for either respective genre, features tracks blessed by Native Tongues gods Q-Tip and Posdonus and as credited with being the first major exposure for Blackstar’s Mos Def as an emcee. Like Group Home, Black Sheep, Black Star or Brand Nubian? Cliche yes, but you’ll love Da Bush Babees.

As any of you who know me can tell, Brother Ali is one of my favorite two MCs of all time (just look at my last.fm page). Unlike most artists I listen to, I didn’t get into Ali from listening to his first album because when I started listening to him the album was near impossible to find. Thanks to somebody who order one of the first 300 copies of Ali’s 2004 Champion EP, Ali’s Rites of Passage finally started to pop up all around the internet late last year. If I had never heard of Ali before I would’ve thought this album was made in the early-mid 90s… which is a good thing, a really good thing. This album takes you back to the time of Brand Nubian, Black Sheep, Black Moon, Tribe and De La Soul from Ali’s lyrics, to his production (he produced this album), even to the interludes. Rites of Passage is a masterpiece of an album, so please don’t sleep on it for your own sake.
