HIT IT & QUIT IT - June 6, 2011... JAZZY JAY SPECIAL

This past Monday we had a very special guest drop by the studio, the one & only Jazzy Jay! Special thanks to our good friend Eric Orr (pictured above) who hooked the whole thing up. What an honour!

Jazzy had been in Auckland for a couple of shows and was happy just to hang out and chat, but we weren't gonna have that, after all, it's not every day we have one of the founding fathers of Hip Hop in the studio. So after a bit of gentle encouragement, we managed to talk Jazzy into dropping an impromptu guest mix on us! It's a wild ride through many styles, as you'd expect from an originator like Jazzy.

We hope you enjoy it! Also note: the mix starts half way through part 1, and runs most of the way through part 2.
(Our producer Reggie B wasn't able to track down all the labels on Jazzy's mix, but did a great job to even keep up with his breakneck speed! Almost 50 tracks in 50 minutes!)

HIT IT!
