Artist: DJ Super Dre

Mixtape: In American Gangster Rap

 

Bringing new life into the mixtape
scene, DJ Super Dre and Money Matters Ent. Presents “In American Gangster Rap,”
inspired by the movie in which the same way Jay-Z was DJ Super Dre incorporates
parts of the movie perfectly with the hottest music from various artist such as
Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, 50 Cent, and DJ Khaled to name a few. A prime
example of this was on a skit right before Kanye West song “Flashing Lights,”
DJ Super Dre played a scene from the movie where Frank Lucas (played by Denzel
Washington) was talking to his brother about being too flashy and following
behind Nicky Barnes (aka Mr.Untouchable) or the “I Wanna Be Like You” skit
before playing T.I.‘s song “Hurt” where Frank Lucas nephew played by T.I. tells
him he doesn’t want to play baseball anymore, he wants to be like him.
Separating yourself and making your own lane, I think is key in the industry
especially when putting out a mixtape and DJ Super Dre and Money Matters did
just that! Some other highlights on the mixtape are Nas “Surviving The Times”,
Fat Joe “Crack House” ft. Lil Wayne and new music from up and coming artist Max
B “Why You Do That” (known for his hooks on Jim Jones Gold selling Koch release
P.O.M.E.).
