For any fan of old-school hip-hop, this one is essential listening. This fan-made mixtape is a culmination of nostalgia and notable Nas and Madlib moments. Taking some choice Quasimoto and Madlib beats and pairing them up with legendary Brooklyn MC Nas's inimitable flow, New Hampshire producer D. Begun has freshly fused the two artist's talents together over a 21-track mixtape entitled Nasimoto. Take a listen to the mixtape in full below.

Madlib fans are still waiting on Bandana, the mixtape he and Freddie Gibbs were supposed to link up on a followup to their superb album Piñata. Now that Gangster Gibbs has finished his album "You Only Live 2wice," we could be expecting the joint album to come out sooner rather than later. Freddie posted a video of the pair in the studio on May 4, indicating that they're currently at work on the tape. Watch it below.
