Mixtape Mondays: Gianni Lee & Mike Blud, Jamie XX & DJ Jazzy Jeff

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Mixtape Mondays launches this week with Gianni Lee & Mike Blud's Yeezus The Samples, followed by dope mixes from Jamie XX live in the mix from Night + Day Berlin and DJ Jazzy Jeff live at the Do-Over in Los Angeles. Saying that this week's haul is epic could be trite, but is more likely an understatement. Check this week's selection of mixes to see what we mean.

Gianni Lee and Mike Blud drop Yeezus The Samples - a mixtape tribute to Kanye West's latest project. The compilation pays homage to the art direction of the Yeezus LP, arriving without a tracklisting. Gianni Lee & Mike Blud meticulously arrange a stack of samples that clocks in just short of the 1 hour mark and provides an in-depth view of Ye's musical influences and direction during the production of the project. The mix even features a bit of production from Gianni Lee during the intro. Check the sounds below to get a different take on the release as Yeezus mania continues.
