DJ Kay Slay

In the tradition of ‘Rolling 50 Deep’ and ‘Rolling 110 Deep,’ DJ Kay Slay has dropped his final offering, ‘Rolling 200 Deep’. A colossal track featuring an astounding roster of 200 rappers. Spanning across multiple generations of hip-hop talent.

With a runtime of 62 minutes, this musical extravaganza is divided into 16 distinct tracks. It was already in the works before the tragic loss of DJ Kay Slay to Covid last year.

‘Rolling 200 Deep’ is the fourth installment in DJ Kay Slay’s celebrated ‘Rolling Deep’ series. This includes ‘Rolling 25 Deep’ (2005), ‘Rolling 50 Deep’ (2020), and ‘Rolling 110 Deep’ (2021).

What To Expect

The lineup for this epic track is nothing short of legendary. Featuring iconic figures such as Snoop Dogg, Ice-T, Raekwon, Run DMC, Bun B, Big Daddy Kane, and Goodie Mob. Alongside these legends you’ll find other notable names like Tony Yayo, Cory Gunz, KING Crooked, Uncle Murda, Herb McGruff & Stan Spit.

Cassidy, Joel Ortiz, Young Buck, Rah Digga, Kid Capri, and many more contributed their lyrical prowess to this ambitious project. The production of ‘Rolling 200 Deep’ is masterfully handled by Suits TM of Trackateering Music. The music video was expertly directed and edited by Will C. and Richie4K of StreetHeatTV.

DJ Kay Slay’s journey in the world of hip-hop is a tale of evolution. Known as a prominent graffiti artist, he gained recognition through his appearance in the 1983 graffiti documentary, ‘Style Wars.’ He bore witness to the birth of hip-hop culture firsthand, observing the rise of luminaries like Grandmaster Flash, Grand Wizzard Theodore, and Kool DJ Red Alert.

Change of Course

However, his life took a different turn as he became entangled in street life, leading to a period of incarceration in the late 1980s. Upon his release in 1990, he was granted a fresh start. 

His musical career eventually soared with the release of four successful studio albums: ‘The Streetsweeper, Vol. 1,’ ‘The Streetsweeper, Vol. 2,’ ‘The Champions: North Meets South’ (with Greg Street), and ‘More Than Just a DJ.’ DJ Kay Slay also hosted a highly acclaimed radio show on Hot 97.

In August, the streets of his native Harlem, N.Y., paid tribute to DJ Kay Slay by unveiling a street sign in his honor at East 105th Street and 1st Avenue. The poignant ceremony occurred just one day before what would have been his 57th birthday. Hip-hop luminaries such as 50 Cent, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Remy Ma, Tony Yayo, and others attended.

In Conclusion

‘Rolling 200 Deep’ is a unique masterpiece in hip-hop history. It echoes the voice of the streets and the culture of hip-hop that DJ Kay Slay so passionately represented. Artists like Papoose have openly acknowledged the profound influence of DJ Kay Slay, with Papoose stating, “I probably wouldn’t be in the game if it wasn’t for Slay.”

#GetSOM via @swag100

THIS WILL BE THE TOP REMIX OF THE YEAR 2023

Tracey Lee released a remix of his original breakout hit “The Theme (It’s Party Time).” The timeless hit, 25th anniversary was this Febuary. Which Tracey Lee dicided to drop the new one in honor of the original on the same exact date!

TRACEY LEE - "PARTY TIME XXV"

Originally released on February 4, 1997, as the lead single from the Philly rapper’s debut album Many Facez, the D-Dot and Amen-Ra-produced track spent a total of 37 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (peaking at No. 55) and was a regular party anthem in clubs in the mid-late ’90s.

Tracey Lee linked with the super producer Ojizz on the Trak for the new hit. Ojizz remixed the original song as well as provided the vocals on the hook.

TRACEY LEE - "PARTY TIME XXV"

The new version, almost mimicks the orginal in a sense but Tracey Lee shows he still has them wicked Philly bars that are Top Tier. The Beat is Crazy, The hook is satisfying catch and smooth. The all around production of this Party Time XXV is impecabile.

Party Time original, has been a staple song in the clubs and radio. I personally beileve the new one will hold weight and value as the original.

‘The Theme’ Party Times XXV has a video directed by Don Trunk and T-Lee’s longtime friend and engineer extraordinaire Young Guru. Check it out right here on Straight Official.
