Slam Magazine, XXL and Adidas hooked up with Mick Boogie to celebrate the Nets coming to BK with a special mixtape called Brooklyn Originals.
The idea behind the Brooklyn Originals project came from not only my love and respect for Brooklyn hip-hop artists and their music but also my excitement for the upcoming NBA season and the new era of basketball in New York. I thought it would be cool to combine the logos and imaging of two of the biggest brands out right now–the BROOKLYN Nets and adidas ORIGINALS–into a mixtape project that represented hip-hop to the fullest. Musically, some of my favorite hip-hop memories were listening to and getting to know legendary Brooklyn crews like Duck Down, Black Star and Digable Planets and I have always wanted to do an all-Brooklyn themed project.
The tape features Brooklynites (among others) Talib Kweli, Sene, Mr. MFN eXquire, Skyzoo and a brand new track by MC Lyte. You can read an interview with her about the BK and this new tune here.
