On The Next Step

City of God’s Son – Biggie x Jay-Z x Nas 03/10/2010

I am not usually a fan of mashups, but this one is definitely a special one. Put together by the good people at Kenzo Digital, here is part 2 of the beat cinematic project which features The Norotious B.I.G., Jay-Z, & Nas. This chapter is entitled Eulogy and is not like any other mash up you have heard before. Listen to the sound clip below and read what the creator had to say about this piece. Hit more to see an indescribable video to go along with the song along with more information about the project.

This song was created to celebrate and commemorate the life of the late, great Notorious BIG. As the 2nd “Deleted Scene” from the “City of God’s Son” project, I wanted to show my respects by creating this song, and create a parallel world where Biggie still lives.

Words can not describe this video

“City of God’s Son” is an experimental hip-hop opera starring Nas, Jay Z, Ghostface, Biggie Smalls, Raekwon, Samuel Jackson, Delroy Lindo, and Laurence Fishburne. It is a crime drama/coming of age tale of three fictitious characters growing up in a crime ridden city in a jungle. This project explores the icon of the gangster in modern media, and weaves musical history and gangster film history into an operatic music based story of brotherhood and survival. An homage to 90’s New York hip-hop, “City of God’s Son” is the redefinition of the remix. Featuring legendary soul singer Joe Bataan. The musical/soundscape portion of the project is available for FREE download on this site, the visual/installation is coming this summer to NY.
