DJ Total Eclipse "The B Tape" (Mixtape, 2012)


DJ Total Eclipse from The X-Ecutioners released the second installment of his letter mixtape series entitled The B Tape in 2012, featuring mash-ups and remixes from famed artists whose names begin with the letter “B.” The B Tape includes vocals from The Notorious B.I.G., Big L, Big Pun, Bush Babees and Black Moon over the production of Detroit’s Black Milk. The mixtape is a follow-up to The J Tape, with similarly featured tracks from Jay-Z and Jay Electronica over production from the legendary J Dilla. These standout remixes include a mash-up of Notorious B.I.G.’s “Juicy” and Black Milk’s “Long Story Short” as well as a mash-up of Big L’s “Put It On” over Black Milk’s “The Way I Live.” The B Tape is a great example of Total Eclipse paying homage to classic material, while always putting his own twist on the music. After reposting The J Tape, it seemed right to share this too...
