Re-Living Thing, Mick Boogie’s reimagining of Peter, Bjorn and John’s most recent album, was finally unleashed on the internet this week, and we are happy to report that it was worth the wait.
On his previous mixtape, Viva La Hova, Mick Boogie collaborated with Terry Urban to create mash-ups of Coldplay’s music with Jay-Z’s rhymes. For Re-Living Thing, Mick Boogie worked closely with PB&J to select producers and rappers for each track, resulting in cool remixes layered with freshly written raps.
The concept is immediately illustrated by the opening track, “Blue Period Picasso”, where Naledge & Mickey Factz use art-themed lines to compliment PB&J’s lyrics, “The paintings surround me”. Standouts include “Stay This Way” (Big Pooh, Chaundon & Phil Nash) and “It Don’t Move Me” (Kardinal Offshall, Donnis & Henok Achido), but the whole LP is a great listen from start to finish.
This might be a premature call, but Re-Living Thing could be my favorite mixtape of the year. It’s on-point, highly original, and definitely worth your time. Download it here, and check out “Stay This Way” below.
