Toronto turntablist DJ M-Rock put together an incredible mix of Kanye‘s best work and production, but I’ll let him tell it:

“ABOUT THIS TAPE. I lack fanciness in writing and in the artwork (which I did myself), but I promise you my skills as a DJ are sharp as a ginsu on this tape. It took me 3 weeks, probably between 100 – 200 hours to get it right (I’m picky). I really went deep in to give music fans something articulate: scratches, digital juggles, lots of blends, studio edits and tricks. If you play it on an iPod or in iTunes, the tracks are all chapters and there’s a pic for every chapter representing the song. I’d like people to rate this among the best tapes ever, but you guys be the judge, diss it, love it, hate it, whatever, let me know what you think.” - DJ M-Rock

Circle clique member Ro Dolla was recently inspired by the TDK Chronicles w/ Nas video and decided to release this project:

“These beats were made between 1997-1999. I wanted to share with “YOU” and the rest of the world a bit of my first attempts of being a producer as well as an artist. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the people I did during this time period. All beats on this mixtape where copied to mp3 straight from the cassettes I found them on.

When imported into itunes on your computer, you will notice that I wrote brief descriptions of what inspired that particular instrumental in the “comments” section. I hope you enjoy listening to hear how far I’ve come!”
