Five Steez & DJ Ready Cee – Momentum Vol. 3 [Mixtape]

Kingston-based independent emcee Five Steez and New York underground radio icon DJ Ready Cee join forces once again for the 3rd installment of their “Momentum” mixtape series. The mixtape – free for streaming and download – features the duo showcasing turntable and microphone skills over classic Hip Hop instrumentals. Ranging from Big Daddy Kane’s “Ain’t No Half Steppin’” to 50 Cent’s “I Get Money”, Five Steez easily tears through beats from Hip Hop’s most memorable songs released from 1988 to the early 2000s, offering never-heard-before verses, dubs (specials) and freestyles. As he raps, DJ Ready Cee seamlessly mixes and scratches in a manner that has become rare in a modern mixtape. Laced with drops from many personalities, it feels as if everyone from underground heavyweight Shabaam Sahdeeq to Canadian Hip Hop legend Michie Mee to Reggae lyricist Kabaka Pyramid stopped by to hear the release. While none of them share the mic with Steez, he features partners in rhyme, Nomad Carlos, The Sickest Drama, Inztinkz, Massy the Creator and Dizzy the Ill One.
