It's a 39 tracks DJ mix comprised of mostly obscure Funk records from the 70s & 80s that are beat juggled to extend certain drum heavy parts of the songs. Layered on top of the music are also a few hip-hop a cappellas and vocal clips from the classic New York City hip-hop film Wild Style. Also included in the mix are a few original tracks produced by RJ, some of which are featured on his debut solo production LP Deadringer.
