DJ Alexei Rocks Lil Wayne Mash Up ” Weezy’s 90s Ball Vol. 1” (Mixtape Listen & Download)

Fly Gypsy producer, My City vet, "Best of the Booth" contributor and all around international man of luxury DJ Alexei and I will go to our graves arguing about "Rebirth", but we can both agree on two things: one, Lil Wayne is one of the most creative emcees to ever touch a mic, and two, the 90s were an awesome era in rock. Hmmmm....that sounds like two great things that go would go great together.

In other words, I've been rocking out with my rooster out to Alexei's latest project, "Weezy’s 90s Ball, Vol. 1", a remix and mashup album that pairs Lil Wayne with 90s rock classics from Nirvana, Radiohead, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against the Machine and other influential acts. On the album, Alexei both reinterprets old Lil Wayne hits and combines the artist’s numerous -- and, in some cases, obscure -- feature verses to create new songs. Musically, the album is divided into tracks that retain the rock sensibility of the source material (“A Milli In Bloom,” “Zombie Musik”) and hip-hop-influenced tracks on which Alexei combines samples of 90s rock with hip-hop drums (“Bring Back That Raspy Shit,” “Gimme That, Rude Boy”).

On a side note, Universal/Cash Money's already issued a cease and desist - cause, you know, lord forbid someone listens to a dope project that promotes one of their artists - so get it while you can.
