Mark Ronson presents Rhymefest - Man in the Mirror


I haven't listened to much Rhymefest. I loved "Brand New", but thought it might just be because of the Kanye appearance. Slept on him for a while but my interest was renewed with "Angry black man in an elevator". If you haven't heard Rhymefest, here is a good, free, and legal way to get a taste. Mark Ronson put together this mixtape which is a dedication to Michael Jackson, with Fest going back and forth with old samples of Jacko talking. Pretty funny skits. With tracks featuring Popsicle goldenboys Wale and Ghostface, Talib Kweli, and ronsonite Daniel Merriwether, this mixtape is a great listen. Rhymefest's El Che is set to drop this year.

In other Ronson news, Mark is featured as guest dj on today's NPR All Songs Considered. He plays some good stuff and the interview is pretty interesting. Bob Boilen loves Wale!
