Soul Village Presents....Jimi Hendrix: A Tribute To Experience Mixed by DJ Concept

To signify the passing of the last remaining member of The Jimi Hendrix Eperience; drummer Mitch Mitchell (who was found dead in Portland about a week ago), DJ Concept has thrown together an excellent mix of the Band's best moments and fused them with some of Hip-Hop's prime element's. Mixing in mashup blends as well as remixing a few of the Experience's most psychedelic jumpoff's, Concept takes you on a hazy trip through some of the Experience's vastly inspiring, acid fueled tracks, pairing them with a new Hip-Hop twist.

The re-worked stuff on here is incredibly well done and would easily bridge the gap between most 70's Hard Rock fans and contemporary Hip-Hop minions. While I'm sure there's still more than a few stingy haters out there that will refute this tape's goodness, rest assured they are only hating on the perfect marriage of well executed rock and Hip-Hop collusion. Something that has been happening since Hip-Hop burst on the scene some 30 years back.

Utilizing a few Jay-z acapella's and a few J-Zone instrumentals, DJ Concept creates a thick canvas of musical interfacing guaranteed to dulcetly peak your musical taste's. While Concept's touches are a nice addition, the genius that is and was The Jimi Hendrix Experience does most of the work. From Jimi's perfect guitar licks, to Mitch Mitchell's majestically jazz inspired drum work and Noel Redding's bass play and song writing, this tape does the actual music of these legends serious justice. For all the kiddies who aren't familiar with The Jimi Hendrix Experience please take the time to grab this and get a a pretty decent introduction to what many consider the greatest guitarist and rock band of all time, whose contributions directly influenced many of both the rock and Hip-Hop genre's biggest name's. My personal favorite ditty "Purple Haze" is on here, be sure to check that out and check for "Today's Encore"; the most stunning rendition of the Jigga man's emotive tune to date.

here's a few words from DJ Concept himself on the project:

"With the passing of Mitch Mitchell, we officially say goodbye to The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The legacy of the band will live on through their music and I felt the need to mix up, just a small portion, of their catalog. Thanks to J-Zone & Jake from Rhymesayers. Turn the volume loud for this one..."
