Chicago based rapper Rhymefest and colleague DJ Mark Ronson, have mixed a tape dedicated to and honouring Michael, taking samples from his music. Some of these samples have never been heard before and they have used them to support their raps. Several other artists who wanted to be involved in this project include Mary J.Blige, Talib Kweli and Ghostface Killa.
Rhymefest is proud of this work and when asked “why Michael?” he replies; “This was very important to me, seeing as how Michael Jackson is responsible for a revolution in music.”
