Michael Jackson’s iconic influence transcends into Hip Hop, as demonstrated by arguably one of the greatest Hip Hop producers of all time, DJ Premier. This past Friday during DJ Premier’s weekly “Live From HeadQCourterz” show on Sirius, he brought forth a special tribute mix he put together for Michael Jackson. Since his passing there has been an overabundance of “tribute” mixtapes from several DJ’s, but none like this from Premo. Check it out. This came via the Hypebeast.

“With this mix, I wanted to do something a little different. Instead of giving you what I’d listen to before going out to party with my friends, I wanted to share my mind / body trip of traveling to play a show. I spend a lot of time alone in public places; in airports, hotels, and in cars and clubs with ever-new groups of strangers (who often by the end of the night become friends) before sharing my soul with hundreds or thousands of people. I find this to be both exhilarating and alienating. This journey starts from home to flying, to the airport in a new city, a car ride to the hotel, a little introspection, a workout, dinner, some self doubt, a shower, the necessary ego pump, and of course, the main event, the thrill of being up there, the WHY I do what I do … but also the insanity of adoration, the constant fear of failure, and ultimately, the bittersweet reality of heading back to the hotel alone after the party and the afterparty are all done … I hope you feel me. <3 reid,”  directly from Reid herself.

“Greetings folks!! Me and Klever took over North America this past April playing DC to San Fran and everywhere in between. Great times were had and there are too many people to thank for looking out for us. Gotta give a shout to Traktor for sponsoring the whole tour. We’re getting ready to get back on the road in search of new adventures. Before the madness begins, I’m going to Philly for the homie Sharp’s wedding. After that we’ll be going to Fabric for the Scratch Perverts ‘Beatdown’ album launch party, if you are in London - come down! the party’s gonna be crazy!After that we’re gonna make a pit stop in Germany and than onto meet up with the boys, Jack Beats at Beachbreak Live.
I got one US stop at Avalon in Hollywood before Klev and I take over Asia - 6 countries in 10 days! way too many airports and late nights are ahead of us but can’t wait!

So last week the Blacked Out Atlanta headed down to El Bar to hear some solid tunes, drink some cold ass Tecate beer and rock out to DJ SMILES. While all 15 of us were jamming out, spilling beer on every patron that passed by, and genuinely loving living life. What we didn’t know was Smiles was giving us a taste of his latest mix tape White Light Syndrome, which from what we all remembered was awesome. So come Sunday when we all sobered up a bit. I made some move to get this new mixtape up and posted on Mix Revolution so that all can enjoy in the greatness that is the “White Light Syndrome”.
