Another mixtape inside a week and from DJ Filthy Rich again to boot? Whatever is going on? Well, like the monkey keeps saying, so many release submissions come in, there’s only time and space for the dopest mixtapes and is it the monkey’s fault that Mr Rich decides to put out two such entities so close together? No indeed, and you will be thankful when you hear – deep breath – A Clan

A TRIBE CALLED QUEST: 1nce Again (RHYTHM SCHOLAR AtariFunk 8-Bit Remix)

Tip handles most of his own production though Mark Ronson (surprise, surprise) sorts out one track and J Dilla (even less of a surprise) has applied his handiwork to one track two others. But is there anything to match Vivrant Thing on an LP that features D’Angelo and Norah Jones? Have a listen and judge for yourself – single Gettin Up is out now.
