Blue Eyes meets Bed-Stuy - Dj Capel / Smitty

Frank Sinatra, meet Notorious B.I.G.

This is beautiful mash-up mixtape made by Dj Capel & Smitty. They aren't total Sinatra songs, mostly just the riff turned into a beat with some blue eyes clips to set the mood, and biggie there to get the blunt in rotation

Nas - Illmatic - 1994



"Illmatic is the debut album of American rapper Nas, released April 19, 1994 on Columbia Records. Stylistically a hardcore hip hop album, Illmatic features Nas's multi-syllabic internal rhyme patterns expressing inner city lyrical themes and narratives based on his native Queensbridge, New York."
