Mic Tao presents…………American Gangster Christmas


A remix album for Jay-Z's "American Gangster", with all songs sampled from Christmas or holiday themed records.


THIS IS NOT WACK, I PROMISE!!!


Back Story:


This project started a year ago when Mic Tao, a hip hop producer/beatmaker/soundscaper, was working at a retail store during the holiday season where of course holiday music was being played what seemed like 24/7 through the store's sound system. Through the agony of constantly listening to this music, Mic Tao realized a lot of this music was very sample-able, enough to make some pretty sweet tunes. This was also around the time Jay-Z's "American Gangster", and its acapellas came out. Mic Tao put two and two together and decided to make a remix album unique from the loads of remix albums that were coming out. However because of an extensive holiday retail schedule, Mic Tao only got through about 4 joints before the big 12/25 day hit. So better late than never! "American Gangster Christmas" was finished in time for this holiday season. Enjoy!
