I’ve been working on this for a little bit. I’ll probably incorporate it into my next mix. This is a rough draft–the levels are off as usual, but you get the idea.

Recorded live using Serato, except for the “freeform djs” thing to the beginning (added later with Adobe Audition).

Sources:

• Intro = Biz Markie on Len’s “Beautiful Day”

• The song played over the rest of the routine is “One Man Army” by Prodigy and Tom Morello
• “What? I’ve been using my Technics” = Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf’s “Soon To Be Large”
• “I gots lots of cash stashed in money bags” = someone from LBC Crew on Snoop Doggy Dogg’s “Gold Rush”
• “Need to book a flight tonight” = Prince Paul, as sampled by the Avalanches in “Flight Tonight”
