Says DJ Daddy Dog:

Biggie was undeniably one of the best emcees of our time. It’s only natural to honor him. Lots of djs are paying respect by creating Biggie sets or tribute mixes today but I’ll do it differently and visually. I’m mixing audio & video with a sprinkle of slicing & dicing to pay homage to the “illest…representing BK to the fullest.” This 30 minute video mix is actually a portion of a mixed DVD series I worked on with another dj but someone got real greedy. On the 13th anniversary of Biggie’s death, I hope you take the time to appreciate his musical genius. By the way, I had some help from Jay & Nas to speak about their lyrical brother. R.I.P. B.I.G.

Track list for this video mix is after the jump.

On November 1st, 2009 Jay Electronica met up w/ B+ and Eric Coleman of Mochilla to take them on a intimate tour of Jay’s home city of New Orleans, taking them down to his beloved Magnolia Projects in the Third Ward. The video provides a personal reflection from Jay Electronica, and the drastic changes that took place post Hurricane Katrina.

Intertwined w/ the video, are photos that were shot weeks after Hurricane Katrina when B+ and Eric Coleman were invited to New Orleans to screen one of their previous projects, Brasilintime.

Finally, the video ends w/ a live performance by Jay Electronica during VTech’s sponsored Voodoo Festival in New Orleans, performing his acclaimed “Exhibit A.”

J.Period & “Uncle” Ralph McDaniels (Video Music Box, The Bridge) bring Biggie back to life with the “March 9: Video Remix Collection”—a collection of exclusive B.I.G. remixes set to classic videos, in honor of the 13th Anniversary of B.I.G.’s untimely passing. “Flava in Ya Ear (March 9 Video Remix)” marks the first release, a club-shattering blend of old and new that begs the question: where would hip hop be if B.I.G. were still alive!? Tune into jperiod.com/march9 to view more “March 9: Video Remixes”… Coming soon!
