Today would have been Christopher Wallace’s 43rd birthday and even though he’s not here, that doesn’t mean the music is gone with him. Hop in the time machine and revisit DJ Finesse’s mix of Notorious B.I.G. a capellas over DJ Premier instrumentals from 2013 that originally premiered on Preemo’s Sirius/XM show “Live From Headqcourterz.”
This month marks the passing of the lauded rapper Notorious B.I.G. and to honor his legacy, New York resident DJ Finesse debuted a special tribute during DJ Premier’s Sirius/XM show “Live From Headqcourterz” on March 8.
The mix showcases Biggie’s a capellas paired with Premier-produced beats. While the original tribute was shorter for air-time, Finesse extends the tribute for hip-hop fans here with a special intro by Premier himself.
DJ Premier’s “Live From Headqcourterz” airs every Friday night from 10 p.m. to 12 a.m. on Sirius/XM Channel 44, Hip Hop Nation. DJ Finesse is a regular guest on the show, filling in for Premier as an on-air mixer.
