Audio: Cut Chemist "Adidas to Addis"


I've been following Cut Chemist ever since I saw him do the unimaginable on two turntables years ago. Since then he's worked with countless artists and done remixes for some of hip hop's most notable acts. This new project, however, is inspired by his 2009 concert with Ethiopian music legend Mulatu Astatke. In case you are unfamiliar, check out OKA's in-depth interview with the legend here. This new CC track, properly titled “Adidas to Addis,” is a cut off his upcoming album. Check it out!
