From "My Lifestyle", "Last Day", "Wu Gambinos" to "Executive Decision" and more, we've gotta give thanks to these MCs for killing it over violin-driven Hip Hop beats. Enrichment pays homage by bringing dramatic strings on his remix of "John Blaze". The original version has the sound that's built for the club, but this version is serious. So press play and get into a zone as Enrichment delivers a sound that makes "John Blaze" feel like these MCs are ready to kill.

If you felt sadness in this classic song by NaS, you haven't heard nothin' yet. Through the use of AI, The Rum Runner remixes "Life's A B*tch" to amazing effect. The result is a slow-grooving Soul ballad which projects the pain and sorrow of NaS's rhymes on a deeper level.


If you're in the U.S., you can catch NaS on tour for summer 2024 in selected states, including his Las Vegas residency with the Philharmonic orchestra. Tickets available here at Ticketliquidator.
