Draze-"The Notorious, Life after Death" featuring DJ B Mello



E Dub slid this to me earlier so you know the FCC spreads the love.  This was put together in memory of Notorious BIG, who as the hip hop community knows, lost his life on this day. Below is the press release, enjoy.

Every year at this time, the hip hop community takes a moment to commemorate the life, the genius, and the legacy of the Notorious BIG. This year, in honor of the late great emcee, Draze salutes Brooklyn's finest with a Mixtape Movie titled, "The Notorious, Life after Death" featuring DJ B Mello. 

In his own words Draze says, " I've always been a Biggie fan, so this was my way of paying homage. I tried to channel his energy as best I could. The greatest honor for me was hearing someone say it was even half way believable." 

Never short on Cameo appearances, this MixtapeMovie promises to deliver its fair share of gossip and barber shop talk. With this video Draze channels Biggie and ponders the question "what if" Frank White could get one day with his loved ones and the city he carried on his back? What would he think of hip hop, how would he address the women in his life ( Lil Kim, Faith), and what would he think of long time friends, Diddy and Jay Z reaching mogul status? 

Many have speculated as to what the original King of NY would say... Well today, I think we are getting a glimpse.

And while you're at it, peep this site too.
