Here's our second video of our Mix Takes project. The idea was to make a "mixtape" sounding project of our favorite beats, and film it live in real time. The way you hear it in the video was the way we played it. Enjoy!
Fatbeats description... Will Sessions impressed many with the meticulous craftsmanship of their studio re-workings of the classic tracks for "The Elmatic Instrumentals." With their new two-part video "Mix Takes," the five-piece band is taking a similar approach in recreating some of their favorite songs--only this time it was all recorded and filmed live in real time.
The soundtrack to "Mix Takes" is now available on a limited edition vinyl pressing. Order the vinyl here: http://fatbeats.com/mixtakes

The Roots as much as I love them, need a tight knit band like this to put some real fire into their ass! I can envision a lane for another Major Label Hip Hop band and Will Session could very well be it, but they need an MC who can hang with Black Thought and the only ones anyone out of Detroit that people are going to pay close attention to like that are either Elzhi or Royce and Elzhi is the better choice because they already have that chemistry.
