I have lived in Brooklyn for most of my life but for 10 years starting in the early 2000s I lived in Virginia. Shortly after getting down there I met DJ Bee who along with the Legendary Buddha Brothers were the main djs/personalities on the biggest local station 103 Jamz and I was cool with all of them. One day I turned on the radio and the Clipse were live in the studio at the station. I hit up DJ Bee and he told me to come down to meet them. I jumped in my ride and hit the highway to get there.
As I was pulling in Pusha T was pulling out in his black Benz. Malice, now known as No Malice, was still in the parking lot though. I got out and introduced myself to him and he was a down to earth dude. We got into his black Porsche and chopped it up for a few. We exchanged numbers and agreed that we have to do some work together in the future. He would host this mixtape and later down the line I would interview him in Greenbrier Mall for my Ghetto Penthouse TV DVD.
For a time when the South was dominating the game this mix is decidedly more East Coast and underground than what was the popular thing to do. However, it was still well received and a great listen to this day. Below is the entire mixtape. Enjoy and be sure to subscribe to my YouTube page while you’re at it.
