This week’s Live Ace Hotel Mix is all about the Strap, aka the champion’s belt (of beats). We have some heat from Illadelph and the Roots, remixed by the Beatminerz to start if off (NYC and Philly both repping the old school wrestling meccas), right into a guy who could literally wrestle, Action Bronson (Big Up Queens, NY!) into a prematch National Anthem from Radiohead (reworked by me and a beat from Preemo), through some flowers from Dudley Perkins (for the ladies of the ring) to defunct BK rock/rapper’s New Kingdom (Althea has a posse, if you remember this record you are good.) not a frontman like Jimmy Hart, 3 sides that could be wrestling moves from Roots Manuva, Rusty Bryant, and Jackie Mittoo, Funk from the Sugarman Three, Lord Finesse who could wrestle under the name of Funky Technician, Thes One providing a target, Danger Doom telling it like it really is, beats from Riton, Dilla and King Yellowman, and Latin infused beats from Chico Mann to help round off the mix as well. Shout out to Bruno Sammartino and Ric Flair for keeping me glued to the TV as a kid. Enjoy.
