DJ Haylow- A Tribe Called Quest: Queens Representatives

From my good homie's blog. enjoy!

Once upon a time, Distortion 2 Static had a radio show hosted my myself and Beats Me. We would do tributes, themes and such, and one episode we did a tribute to Tribe Called Quest. I did an ALL TRIBE mix for about 90 min straight, and me and Beats me had mic breaks discussing one of the best Hip Hop groups of all time. We discontinued the radio show, but I still had the mix, so I figured I would release it to the many who haven't heard it; fix the levels, add artwork, and give it a title, and voila! New Mixtape! So this is a joint I did about 2 years ago, and it's a straight shot...no multi-tracking or edits, so please excuse the mistakes. With that said, it gets the stamp of approval. This one goes out to all the Tribe enthusiasts across the globe.

Detroit Love Dilla (A Tribute To Jay Dee)

Today, 3 years ago, we lost a legend. I am truly grateful for his contribution to the hip hop world. He will forever be known as the greatest Producer of all time. Similar to how Jazz musicians did back in the day, Dilla is one of the only dudes who can alter moods with his beats. There will never be another Dilla. Enjoy this tribute video. Peace...
