Michael Jackson x DJ Jazzy Jeff - He's The King, I'm The DJ

3 years ago today saw the untimely passing of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Back in November of the same year, Hip-Hop legend DJ Jazzy Jeff paid tribute in the only way he knows how, by putting together a stunning 40-track mixtape of blends and remixes, alongside all of Michael's greatest hits. One of the best MJ tributes you will ever hear - get your copy HERE.

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Summertime (Live @ Men In Black 3 After Party)

During the after party for the Men In Black 3 premiere last night, Will Smith hooked up with his old pal Jazzy Jeff to perform their all-time 1991 classic 'Summertime', which with the weather we're experiencing at the minute, couldn't come at a better time. Amazing to see them performing together again, and even more amazing to see two friends stay so close after the worldwide success they have both achieved. Rare.

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince working on new album

DJ Jazzy Jeff took to his Twitter/Instagram earlier today to post this picture of himself and lifetime friend Will Smith, with the simple caption "Coming soon!". The news that they were planning on hooking up to create a new album leaked a few months ago, but with Big Will having finished Men In Black 3 and now this picture, it seems as though new material is definitely in the works. Nearly 20 years after the release of their last album 'Code Red' in 1993, both are looking much older and have done a lot of living since then, but hopefully Jeff & The Fresh Prince can come through with some refreshingly classic material.

"He's the DJ, I'm the rapper..."

DJ Jazzy Jeff - A Musical Journey (Mini-Documentary)

DJ Jazzy Jeff, the best DJ of all-time and one of the most under-rated producers to grace the earth, takes you on a musical journey by giving you an exclusive look at his recent tour of Asia. The video was shot by Christopher Schafer over the 12 shows that Jeff did in the Far East, and it seems as though he and his music went down extremely well out there. Hip-Hop is universal.

DJ Jazzy Jeff & Ayah - Maybe We Can Just (Feat. STS)

Having heard a few cuts from this tape, it's safe to say that I was very excited to hear the project in its entirety - I'm glad to report that it didn't disappoint, at all. Having sent Jeff a stab in the dark Myspace message a few years ago, Ayah has become one of the most refreshing voices I've heard for a long time and this is one of the most amazing soul projects for years. Here is my favourite track, and you can download the mixtape for free, HERE. (Barry White can sleep in peace knowing that his music is being put to such good use by the likes of Jeff and Zo!)

Mick Boogie & DJ Jazzy Jeff – Summertime 2 (Mixtape)

YES YES YES! Mick Boogie and Jazzy Jeff are back with a follow up to their critically acclaimed Summertime mixtape that went down a storm last year. Last year was special, but this is even better, in my opinion. Mick is a legend, but Jazzy is one of my favourite producers/DJs of all-time - everything about this is has classic vibes. Jocelyn Brown, to Slum Village, to Tom Browne - what more could you want from a Summer mixtape?! You can get your download HERE, and check the tracklist over @ StupidDope.

No Strings (DJ Jazzy Jeff Remix)
