Remix. Mash-up. Two ways to describe
Steelmatic. It's where two guys from the USA;
Manz with some help from
Mr. Fantaztix have taken rapper
Nas 2001 album
Stillmatic and retooled it using
Steely Dan samples. It was released December 31, 2010, and although we do not pretend to know all or even enough about the legal ramifications we do suspect it might not be "official" as in cleared with the repective owners of the music.

Then again we could be wrong, as the duo's previous collaboration
Hot Trax has been available at the same site since October 2009.
Hot Trax features samples from
Frank Zappa. And the
Zappa lawyers haven't taken lightly on the use of Frank's music outside of the official recordnings.
That's also why we don't link directly to the stuff. It's out there and if you want it you know how to find it.
