DJ Mighty Mi - Blog Hop

How could I as a Hip-Hop blogger not put up a tape with this title and put together by DJ Mighty Mi; a huge fixture in underground hip-hop. Having produced records for Havoc of Mobb Deep, Eminem, Pharoahe Monch, Mos Def, Mad Skillz and R.A. The Rugged Man, Mighty Mi first gained noteriety as one half of the Hip-Hop duo the High And Mighty. Hailing from Philadelphia, The High And Mighty (Mr. Eon and Mighty Mi) made their debut on the much celebrated, 90's hip-hop label, Rawkus Records. Knee deep in the authentic hip-hop sound provided by Mighty Mi's funk laced, grooved out and spacey productions the two quickly became one of my favorite groups. They would go on to release a multitude of following albums and compilations after they left Rawkus after only two releases or so. They hae stayed true to thier formula of hardcore rhymes, ill guest spots, and razor sharp production all tinged with a sporting esthetic (no pun intended). This tape right here is a lil' different though. I think Mighty Mi was just trying to flex his funk sampling chops and blending skills for the people. Which he did, masterfully, there's a few really worthwhile remixes on here that I think I'll grab and save. For the most part however, "Blog Hop" is best classified as a party starter type of tape. So if your seeking some of the same stuff that you'd find on for example, "Air Force 1", "Eastern Conference All-Stars" or "Highlite Zone", you really might not wanna check for this.
