An excellent compilation of jazzy hip hop put together by DJs Mitsu The Beats & Mu-R -- fantastic cuts from the Stones Throw universe, the J Dilla/PPP Detroit sound, and equally great stuff from the international scene!

Includes "Jazz Catz" by Quas, "The Gong Show" by Maspyke, "The Movement" by Delaime & Lootpack, "Get Involved" by Pete Rock, "Turn It Up" by Grooveman Spot, "Fever" by PPPs, "Philadelphia" by Bahamadia, "Right Here" by DJ Mitsu & more.
