This is a genius record by Jeffery and London On Da Track. It bridges two eras of hip hop with some intelligent reimagination too. The Notorious B.I.G might seem like an odd pairing with Young Thug, but the acoustic version of Biggie’ s own sample of Dave Grusin’s keys on Either Way is a breeze to listen to. Check all 3 tracks out below and see how that sound has been folded into afropop.

Here’s how the Young Thug interpolation Made It’s Way To Lagos:

Thanks, you reached the bottom. Here’s a little something extra from Jon Moskowitz, Dj Cappel & Smitty’s Blue Eyes Meets Bed-Stuy. This mashup sees Biggie and Sinatra’s worlds combine, definitely not a struggle to listen to!
