This effort has been around for a minute...since last year...


...producer Focus, who used to produce in Dr. Dre's camp (on Aftermath) came out with a line of homage tracks/beats paying respect to some of the most prolific producers in Hip-Hop...basically doing beats for each producer in likeness of their respective styles - showing dexterity and ability to emulate anyones production style.


***Some say he ghost-produced for Dre....


anyone familiar with this project? what do you think about it? which one is your favorite?
