Just Blaze "TAKEOVER" (Abstract Radio Show Mix)


Just Blaze dropped by Q-Tip's Abstract Radio Show on Beats 1, and dropped an exclusive two-hour mix of hip-hop classics from his back catalog, original samples, and also opened the vaults to share some reworked and unheard gems. This is as feel-good as it's gonna get right now, so revisit this mix below and be reminded of the legendary Jersey producer who helped fashion the sound of New York hip-hop in the early 2000s. Some of the gems include Usher‘s “Throwback” with Rico Love, Joe Budden‘s “Pump It Up” with a verse from Busta Rhymes, Kanye West‘s “Touch The Sky” with Robert Glasper, an alternate version of Freeway‘s “Flipside,” Rick Ross‘ “Lord Knows” verse over the “Computer Love” beat and also a Juelz Santana and Jim Jones featured “I Really Mean It” with Cam’ron. Just speaks with his hands and the music, but takes time to shout out the pioneering DJs that've held down radio over the years. Much respect to him for that. Ok, really now - listen below...
