Going back to their Diggers Union roots, Hevehitta and DJ Unexpected focus on the street poetry and witty word play of Nas and Mobb Deep with 'Poetic Prophets.' This 43-track mixtape is not your typical 'best of' mixtape. Hevehitta and DJ Unexpected flip the script and provide vintage cuts, exclusive remixes done by DJ Unexpected and Hook & Eye Productions, and an entire 'look what I found'-style break beat section all packed into 80 minutes of CD time. A mixtape like this is
only the beginning of what’s to come from the mixtape game’s premier duo.
'Poetic Prophets' will be a limited-edition release with only 250 copies being pressed for the public. Once they’re all sold, no more copies will be made.
On February 27th, Hevehitta and DJ Unexpected released Duel of the Iron Fists, a concept mixtape starring Ghostface Killah and DJ Premier. The mixtape combined Ghostface Killah’s epic wordplay over DJ Premier’s boom-bap backdrops. The mixtape even included a break beat and sample section for said artists.
Shaolin Temple Strikes Back is a continuation of Duel of the Iron Fists but with more Wu-Tang Clan members and a new producer, the Alchemist. Shaolin Temple combines the Witty Unpredictable Talent and Natural Game of the Wu-Tang Clan with the underground flavor of the Alchemist. A 20 minute Alchemist break section is also featured.
These two titles combined give you Shaolin Rescuers.
The first of its kind, Shaolin Rescuers holds two different projects on one CD. If you have been following the Hevehitta and DJ Unexpected catalog for quite some time, you know they are not afraid to try different ideas with their projects. Shaolin Rescuers also features the famous Shaw Brothers movie dialog – all recorded by Hevehitta and Unexpected – that you have heard on previous Martial Arts Mixtapes. This is a mixtape movie presentation, with Hevehitta and DJ Unexpected as the directors.
Enjoy and be educated.
