DJ Butter presents Big Herk, Strike, Animal Chief and Crime - “You’re Blind” audio.
A Detroit remake of the Run DMC classic.
Detroit’s Alpha-bet has amassed some impressive production credits lately. You can hear his work on NBA 2K8, the Speed Channel, MTV, the Discovery Channel, as well as Eminem and D12’s upcoming album.
He’s also been nominated as a Detroit Hip Hop producer of the year and has released a free mixtape - The Warm up: One Take Mixtape with artist, Delo.
This entire mixtape was recorded spontaneously during one day this July in a recording session at Detroit’s Keyz Studios. It’s a what Alpha-bet calls, “The NFL network before the game on Sunday”, leading to the street album Im Popular, coming late-fall, 2007.
