Ahhhh, the proverbial rock/hip hop mix. I have been a bit weary of these since I listened to the Viva La Hova project. However, when I ran across this mixtape from Flint, Michigan-based DJ, Adrian Champion, I was quite impressed. Not that Mr. Champion is seeking my approval, but I found the production of this tape to be much more original and entertaining, than other projects I've come across with similar intentions. He even offers an original rap on one track.
STARS & STRIPES: The White Stripes Reimagined is a solid project that mixes The White Stripes with some of the best rhymers of our time - M.O.P, MOS, 'YE, JAY, EM, and BIG - just to name a few. And as it turns out, the lo-fi, bluesy instrumentals from The White Stripes proves to be a good compliment to some of the dopest rhymes from the last decade and a half. My favorites were Ms. Doorbell featuring Mos Def and Cash Run featuring BIG and PAC.
If any of this sounds interesting to you, check out the trailer for the mix below and get the entire album for FREE straight from his website.
