Violated: A Tribute To Chris Lighty (mixed by Disc Jockey Nappy)

As we all know, the Hip-Hop community lost one of its pillars recently. Chris Lighty has been through a number of different movements within the scene, from the late '80s through today. He got put on early via legends like Kool DJ Red Alert, working for the Boogie Down Productions crew and the Native Tongues to being mentored by Russell Simmons. His Violators crew turned into Violators Management, which was a staple within the Hip-Hop industry, managing acts like 50 Cent, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes, Diddy and a plethora of others - all the while holding an executive position at Def Jam during a pivotal time of growth, helping nurture acts like Jay-Z, DMX, Foxy Brown and others. His fingertips have helped mold the Hip-Hop game, both musically and financially. When hearing the news of Chris' untimely death, Disc Jockey Nappy took it back to the crates, dug deep and banged out this special mix, paying tribute to Chris Lighty through the music of those he's helped guide. We thank you for everything you've done for the community, Chris. We present to you: Violated. Shouts to Jaap for the artwork!
