"Nappy DJ Needles is taking on a more than creative task in creating the mash-up of the decade." "The results are surprisingly good, combining the jazz sensibility of Q-Tip's productions with the heart-on-sleeve honesty and otherworldly raps of Big Boi and André 3000." "Two of my favorite goups of all time put together in a solid mashup by Nappy DJ Needles." The music from 2 of Hip Hop's most revered groups blended into one rather dope package. 12 blends featuring the lyrics of Outkast over beats by A Tribe Called Quest. The end result is something I think you'll really enjoy. Never one to waste a seemingly good idea, I began the cd artwork in late June and started the process of deciding which acapella went over what beat. So, "A Tribe Called Kast", huh? Just what does that mean? Welp, rather than a huge mix featuring Outkast and ATCQ songs (which would be dope, I know), I went the blend route and gathered Outkast acapellas and ATCQ beats with the intention of creating an ATL/NY/Dungeon Family/Native Tongue hybrid. While posting a simple FB "battle" (Outkast vs A Tribe Called Quest) back in mid-June of 2013, I thought of the name "A Tribe Called Kast" a few seconds before I noticed that fellow Outkast/ATCQ head, Trackstar the DJ, had actually commented with that very title! Great minds and such.
