Last month, I had the pleasure of performing as a DJ in Toronto, CA for the first time.  It was a great opportunity to reconnect with some friends I had made when last I was there with Critically Acclaimed and The Low Budget Crew.  Upon my arrival to the venue with DJ Mensa, I noticed a larger than life character rocking a crispy Critically Acclaimed Tee from 2004… It was the homie Big Jacks!

The weekend came and went and was super fun.  As we pulled up to the airport, Mensa handed me Jacks’ Mixtape and stated “He never promotes his stuff, but this CD is ILL”.  He was right.  Jam-packed with sample “originals” and the songs that used them, Jacks mix stands out from many similarly - themed mixes.

I immediately hit up Jacks and asked him if I could post it.  He told me hold tight because it was only available in physical form but that he was going to upload it soon…

Well that day is here!

DOWNLOAD: DJ Cuzzin B - MJ Tribute Mix

It’s been a year already… Damn.  The world is still grieving from the lost of arguably the greatest entertainer of our times.  But while his physical form is gone, his spirit and contributions are ubiquitous.  Tribute mixes will fly fast and furiously from any joker with the “Michael Jackson Greatest Hits” discography, but only from a select group of seasoned disc jockeys, will fans be able to hear the forgotten jems…

Shouts to my fam, Cuzzin B and his True School Crew.  Great job boss!

Rest In Peace, Brother Michael.
