Here we are celebrating the life and legacy of "The King of Pop", Michael Jackson, once again. As usual, you know I had to do a tribute mix in his honor. This one is filled will all remixes of your favorites by DJ's and producers from around the world. Enjoy!
Collaborating for their current project under the moniker of MadGibb, Madlib and Freddie Gibbs are rapping it up and set to release their Piñata album due for October of this year. Already long awaited by fans, a preview of what's to come is with a track called "City" that features Karriem Riggins trading off a verse with Gibbs. "City" was released two days ago as a free download, part of the Adult Swim summer singles program. While you're patiently awaiting the arrival of Piñata, check the [AS] website each week for more free releases.
As said before, I just got familiar with Tall Black Guy and see that he makes some pretty dope tracks. In honor of Michael Jackson's birthday, we're going to continue with more freebies on this day for The King of Pop.
Be sure to check out more releases from TBG on his Bandcamp page. Enjoy!
Birthday wishes are going out to The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, who is recognized by the world as being the most successful entertainer of all time. During the late 70's and 80's, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. By the mid-1980's, he became a permanent fixture in pop music and a staple of MTV (Music Television), having several music videos in heavy rotation. Jackson also is a pioneering figure in making music video more artistic.
Jackson's 1982 album Thriller is the best-selling album of all time. His other records, including Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory (1995), also rank among the world's best-selling. Jackson is one of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. He was also inducted into the Dance Hall of Fame as the first (and currently only) dancer from the world of pop and rock 'n' roll. Some of his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records; 13 Grammy Awards (as well as the Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award); 26 American Music Awards (more than any other artist, including the "Artist of the Century"); 13 number-one singles in the United States in his solo career (more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era); and the estimated sale of over 750 million records worldwide. Jackson won hundreds of awards, which have made him the most-awarded recording artist in the history of popular music.
Below is a tribute mix I did in his honor. The cover art for this mix was done by me as well. To view complete track listing, visit my podcast page here. Enjoy!
