DJ Manipulator – “Jazz Is Everything” (Mix)

Stream DJ Manipulator’s Jazz Is Everything mix above.

With an increased sense of Jazz influence in today’s lyrical and softhearted hip hop, DJ Manipulator pays his dues with a brand new vinyl mix. The album is an entire mix of Manipulator’s sense of style on top of classical Jazz tracks that have inspired today’s hip hop sound.

From Ahmad Jamal, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, Kool and the Gang, and more—Manip packs a lot of gems into a half hour. Luckily, the half-hour snip is a chill-listen through, and is great for any time of day.

The Jazzy hip hop found in even today’s tracks just go to show where the hip hop industry is hopefully headed. Stream the new mix from DJ Manipulator above, and stay tuned as he has more in the works. Peep the tracklist below to see which tracks are up in the lengthy cut.
