M11X & Illroots.com present DJ Low Key - De La Extras #2

I spotted this on illRoots the other day and was intrigued, because I had just been listening to an old Prince Paul mix and remembered a lot of my favorite De La Soul cuts were from his hand. Here's some info on this mix and the exhibit its promoting:

Denver's DJ Low Key joins acclaimed artist M11X and popular hip hop site Illroots.com for De La Extras #2, his second tribute to rap legends De La Soul. With 2009 commemorating the 20th anniversary of De La Soul's landmark debut album, DJ Low Key put together an unconventional mix of De La rarities, remixes, bootlegs & b-sides to accompany MX11 aka Mikal Hameed's De La Soul audio sculpture (featured on the mixtape's cover) on the De La Soul - 3 Feet High & Rising Art Tour. With the tour being postponed, Low Key decided to release the tape in conjunction with Illroots.com and send it on M11X's upcoming solo national tour. Download the mixtape for free at DJLowKey.com and Illroots.com and be on the lookout for M11X's upcoming shows, featuring the tape and chair on the cover, coming to a city near you, starting with San Francisco on January 8th.
