A Kevin Nottingham/HHIR collabo was bound to happen one of these days, right? Well, we decided to work on 'Ready to Die', The Notorious B.I.G.'s classic debut album which contains an EXTENSIVE set of samples. The set was so big (pun intended....not a Big Pun pun though) that we had to organize it into three discs. Unbelievable... Rest in Peace BIG!
