DJ BAD THA PROBLEM returns with “CERTIFIED HITz 11 EastMix Edition,” loaded with five mash-ups built around the music of Harlem rapper Dave East.
DJ BAD THA PROBLEM and CERTIFIED HITz Music Group have released “CERTIFIED HITz 11 EastMix Edition,” the 11th installment in their mixtape series and a project that puts Dave East’s catalog in the spotlight. Five mash-ups, including “Rules” and “Heavy,” rework the Harlem rapper’s records through new instrumentals and transitions, giving listeners a fresh way to hear music they already know.
The project relies on a longstanding hip-hop tradition in which mixtapes serve as a platform for DJs to rework songs, combine records, and present an artist’s music in a way that goes beyond the typical album structure. On EastMix Edition, the focus stays on the interplay between Dave East’s wordplay and DJ BAD THA PROBLEM’s mixes, with the sequencing tying the selections together as one cohesive mixtape rather than a loose collection of tracks.
CERTIFIED HITz 11 EastMix Edition is available to stream now at the CERTIFIED HITz Music Group official website. Fans of Dave East, DJ BAD THA PROBLEM, and East Coast hip-hop can visit the site for the release and for future updates from the label.
