Vast Aire, remember him? He's the titan MC who shocked the world and conquered critics as the leader of Definitive Jux's landmark upstart crew, Cannibal Ox; their essential 2002 debut, Cold Vein, was a chart-topper in nearly every smart music critic's year-end poll.
As the Soul Controller of Eastern Conference Records, DJ Mighty Mi has carved out a place among Hip hop’s top producers, besides his stint as High & Mighty’s resident DJ and chief producer (Hi & Mighty’s 1999 Rawkus Records debut, Home Field Advantage, played a major role in propelling Rawkus’ ascension as the “it” Indy Label of its time) Mi has produced gems for Smut Peddlers, Copywrite, Tame One, Cage, Leak Brothers, Royce 5’9, Ghostface, Kool G Rap, Mobb Deep and luminaries such as Jurassic 5, Dilated Peoples, Big Daddy Kane, Kool Keith and Eminem on EC’s Eastern Conference’s All-Star series (which now runs three deep).
After quickly following up his solo-debut, Look Mom…No Hands, with two Martial Arts inspired Way Of The Fist mix tapes, Vast Aire teams up with Hi & Mighty's DJ Mighty Mi fortheir highly anticipated union, The Best Damn Rap Show, which will be released on April 5th, 2005. Vast and Mi do things for self on this LP, as Tame One makes the lone cameo on “Fighter Pilots” and Mighty Mi produces every single track.
The Best Damn Rap Show is Hip hop with no boundaries; original and hardcore. Finally, the wait for that new abstract Uptown-fire is over!
