about

Next up in the series is a Chicago Stepper-influenced remix of Jay-Z's "Can't Knock the Hustle."

I've spent the Summer immersed in vinyl, getting the Miyagi Records project off the ground. And along the way I've discovered or have been put up on, a ton of music! This remix is based on The Stylistics quiet storm killer "Hurry Up This Way Again" which you'll recognize as sampled on Jay-Z's "Politics As Usual." I'd heard the Stylistics song waaay back in the day but didn't put 2 and 2 together. The homie Twelve Gage came through the shop awhile back and reintroduced me to this gem and I had it on repeat for days afterward. It didn't take long for the remix idea to come about. All I really wanted was to make a Stepper out of Jigga and continue my "Reasonable Saturday Night" series somehow. Comes with the instrumental which kinda works on it's own as a Stylistics flip.

On a more personal note, this remix isn't just a clever mashup of song titles but it's more so what my 2020 mindset has become. Losing all DJ gigs, performance work, and my marketing company due to the pandemic made me reassess what I want from life and how I plan to get there. I have a tendency to move too fast, and this year has been a blessing in disguise. A much needed slow down, in order to get some bigger moves in play. I'm sure everyone has their thoughts about Jay-Z but there's no denying his success, and the scope and longevity of that success. I once heard for "Reasonable Doubt" he used his advance to purchase copies of the record so as to give SoundScan numbers a bump, thus securing a better deal on his next album. Whether that's myth or reality, it's a G move and the perfect example of investing and reinvesting in yourself.

I hope you're all safe and healthy out there, this ride isn't over yet!
