From A Tribe Called Quest to Gang Starr to Dr. Dre to the Beastie Boys, Blue Note has been the source of the deep groove, the soulful vamp, or the hittin' beat that we associate with some of the greatest Hop Hop songs.  Wether it's the soulful bass line of Ronnie Foster's "Mystic Brew" whiched served as the most memorable element in A Tribe Called Quest's "Electric Relaxation," the colossal orchestrial intro that instantaneously has you at attention awaiting the beat to drop on Dr. Dre's "The Next Episode," or the funky big-bang groove of Joe William's "Get Out Of My Life Woman" which is the sole inspiration of non-stop head-nodding on Kool G Rap's "Ill Street Blues," Blue Note's got it covered.

Blue Note is Droppin' Science, bringing it back to the lab of the Jazz, Funk, and Soul chemists who gave the label some of the most influential and groundbreaking music of their time.  Blue Note's dug deep into the crates to spotlight some of their most treasured works, as they tip their hats to some of the greatest Hip Hop artists and producers ever.

Who got da props? The finest in Jazz, hands down.
