Post by: Martin Mackay on February 12, 2009, 05:38:57 AM: The two songs ive heard from this album are top-notch. The DJ Premier one especially..

Is every song on the album going to be a homage to someone/something? If so, any idea who these others are likely to be?

On his upcoming album "Pay Homage" you can expect a homage to 14 producers.
