Roc Boys remixed by Batsauce
originally by Jay-Z
(posted by Nathaniel James)This remix comes from Hindustani Gangster, a mixtape from Music Without Borders.
Inspired by Indian cinema of the 70’s and Jay-Z’s critically acclaimed album “American Gangster,” “Hindustani Gangster” tells the passionate tale of a Mumbai hustler’s sordid lifestyle.
…Our initial attempt was to create a mash-up project layering Jay’s vocals from his American Gangster album over Indian flavored beats, but as we began laying down the vocals, we found ourselves editing, rearranging and adding so many of our own elements, that we ended up working with completely original tracks.
…Try not to compare it to Jay’s album, but rather treat it as an original work with a familiar narrator.
