So everyone’s just going to be re-doing everyone else’s hits for this project (in this case, Beyonce’s ‘Crazy In Love’ gets the rework), huh? I dig it….taken from The Great Gatsby soundtrack.

Chris Brown Feat. Talib Kweli – Fine China (Remix)
Talib Kweli makes a dope song even better, spitting fresh bars over Chris Brown’s current single ‘Fine China’. I’m assuming that this is an unofficial remix until I hear differently.
Lyriciss – Vent
Someone who probably should have been the next DC area artist (I still can’t stand that ‘DMV’ term to this day) on a XXL cover goes in over a Numonics beat. I forget where this is from (a Numonics collaborative project with Brown Bag All Stars, I believe) and it probably won’t end up here, but the track below is fire.
