JIMEK's Orchestral Retelling Of Hip-Hop History Is A Sight To Be Seen, Sound To Be Heard
Alright, we're waving our late pass on this, but Polish composer JIMEK's absolutely gorgeous orchestral compilation of historic hip-hop cuts is a must see and hear type of joint. The video finds maestro leading a massive symphonic ensemble, who after two full concerts decided to close out the show with this sprawling medley, touching virtually every icono-cut under the Stankonian sun.
