Mick Boogie - Excursions: Rarities & Remixes of A Tribe Called Quest

After seeing Michael Rapaport's incredible documentary, Mick Boogie was inspired by what he saw (as was I) and has decided to put together this special mixtape. As Mick explains: "This is NOT a greatest hits mix. This mix is for the true Tribe fans only... the die-hards who know every lyric and remember every interlude. I thought it would be cool to basically create the "lost" Tribe album... with all the rare songs, demos, limited-edition remixes, and collaborations you may have missed over the years." Thankfully my ATCQ collection has all of these tracks in, but for most people there will be some unheard gems in here. Greatest group of all-time. Stream and download HERE!
