Portland producer Phoniks pulls out a cinematic remix of Christopher Wallace’s classic tale of mackin related activities. Somehow, with just a different backdrop, the rhyme is transformed into a pursuit of the sportin’ life and not a celebration of it. Maybe this is the ballad of an overly observant, young Christopher Wallace, watching the block as young Hood Superstars sport their opulence and women as he plots to one day take their place. Yeah, this is the soundtrack to that moment. Press play
