Video/Mixtape: Mick Boogie ft. Big Pooh, Chaundon & Phil Nash - Stay This Way & Mick Boogie & Peter Bjorn & John - Re-Living Thing Mixtape



"Stay This Way" features Big Pooh & Chaundon of Justus League fame as well as Phil Nash and his frequent collaborator, the legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff, handling the production duties for a different kinda look on this new video from Cleveland's finest deejay Mick Boogie.

The vid is pretty straight forward and really, not overly impressive. Not that I'm against retro video game graphics or anything, it just wasn't very imaginative and a song that dope deserves a lil' better. The song's righteousness shines over everything though and really that can be said for the majority of the stuff on the "Re-Living" mixtape. I'm finally getting around to putting it up for ya'll just now, and while I'm positive most of you scooped this a week ago on another blog or even Mick's site for free, here is yet another name you can trust co-signing it.

Now do go in with a lil' discretion, everything ain't 100% bumpable 100% of the time on it, but musically I love when people try out new things and experiment with sound. There's some really dope genre blending going on, but the main essence of dope Hip-Hop remains and that's the primary reason I'mma have to expose some of my readers to it. Hopefully this sparks all these new beat making children to start diversifying their sampling games...it ain't all about 60's and 70's Soul kiddies...remember that!

What Mick set out to do here was re-work a grip of his favorite records from the band Peter Bjorn & John's 2009 "Living Thing" album along with a bevy of his notable Hip-Hop brethren. He succeeded mightily. Also, I wanted to mention, just in case your not exactly up on your Euro band knowledge, Peter Bjorn & John is a Swedish Indie Rock group made up of Peter Morén, Björn Yttling and John Eriksson. Mick has an affinity for their work and properly put the Hip-Hop and turntablist touch to it alongside some ill new MC's like Naledge, Outasight and Fashawn as well as some dope vets in Evidence, The Gza, Buckshot, Talib Kweli and Bun B. Of course the real treat is some of the most respected producers out there AKA Marco Polo, 88- Keys, Cookin Soul and Jazzy Jeff putting their unique spins on some of PBJ's material...
