Gucci Mane was one of 2009th hottest in US rap. Diplo musta felt that way too, so he put together a remix Mixtape with constributions by himself, Flying Lotus, Douster, DZ, Mumdance, Benzi, Brodinski, Bird Peterson, Emnyd and others.

Why cant I turn on the computer without reading about Calvin Harris anymore? May be because he’s got a subscription on high chart entries. Just like Dizzee Rascal has.
