Busta and I had gotten real cool over the years and wanted to collaborate on something special. MICK BOOGIE SAYS: "One of my favorite projects ever. This project really showed the diversified sounds we are inspired by, as DJs and producers.and it went over quite well. when people book me to DJ, they expect only hip-hop, and are pleasantly surprise to find out how much variety exists in my sets. Who would have thought we could get hip-hoppers to like the Jonas Brothers and Sara Bareilles? It's funny. MICK BOOGIE SAYS: " Terry Urban and I collab a lot, and we decided to throw together this unique remix of our favorite Grammy nominees in 2009. #5: 2009: GRAMMY REMIX PROJECT (w/ Terry Urban) my man Glen Infante redrew and remixed the now classic design done by Takashi Murakami." This was a fun project of Kanye rarities, remixes, exclusives, and freestyles that played a fun companion piece to the classic that was Graduation.
MICK BOOGIE SAYS: "Kanye was always cool enough to support mixtape culture.him and Don C were very accommodating. I wish them the utmost success in everything they do!" and we put together a mixtape better than most people's whole albums. It definitely led to the projects I'm doing now, like Re-Living Thing. Sending over beats, lining up the guest features, and more. MICK BOOGIE SAYS: "The first mixtape I ever acted as an A&R on. #7: AND JUSTICE FOR ALL (w/ Little Brother) It might be the only mixtape ever without the title and deejay name on the cover. The cover was an original painting done by a great artist named Howie Green. So we chose rare and original music to score the project in a way that honored his creativity, not dumbed it down.
One thing I hated about people doing Biggie remixes is.I don't think the music choices matched what Biggie would actually be rapping on if he was alive. MICK BOOGIE SAYS: "We were able to secure Diddy to host this project honoring the greatest rapper of all time.and we released it on the 10th anniversary of his death. He is definitely gonna be one of hip-hop's biggest stars!" And one day, our paths crossed and we have been friends and collaborators ever since. Sean has always been a big supporter of Motivation, a street wear store I co-own in Ann Arbor, Michigan. People like U-N-I, Kidz In The Hall, 6th Sense, The Kickdrums, and of course, the homie Big Sean. MICK BOOGIE SAYS: "I have had the pleasure and honor of working with a lot of up-and-coming artists in hip-hop right at their cusp.
Shout out to Paul Rosenberg and everyone at Shady Records." This project helped expand my audience outside of just the hip-hop realm, since Em's fanbase is so massive. and we formulated The Pre-Up, it was definitely an exciting time. and when they came to me right before The Re-Up dropped. MICK BOOGIE SAYS: "This was done right at the height of Em's popularity and was a real honor.

To help you catch up on Mick's impressive catalogue, we asked the DJ to break down his top 10 mixtape releases and explain why each one holds special significance. The ambitious mixtape, which was officially sanctioned by Swedish pop group Peter, Bjorn & John, reimagines songs from the trio's 2007 album with help from an impressive roster of well-known producers and rappers. He's primarily known as a heavyhitter within the hip-hop world, but his latest release, Re-Living Thing (which just dropped today at and ) shows just how diverse his musical abilities have become.
