DJ Diplo to Remix Gucci Mane's Cold War Series
DJ Diplo, who is not known for his work with Hip Hop, has decided to take on the task of remixing a series of mix tapes by Gucci Mane. The deejay, mainly lauded for his work with his label Mad Decent, is a fan of Gucci, and he decided to enlist others to help him remix the Cold War series.
"Gucci Mane is an underdog and a divisive artist," Diplo said through a statement. "I thought it would be cool to have a bunch of kids and weirdos do some mixes of his songs; we all are fans and we are from different scenes. Gucci is a rapper that doesn't try and be anything he is not; he's straight up. Maybe it's ironic and all, but I'm just a fan and have been since day one. Gucci Mane is the cool uncle I never had even though I'm pretty sure I am older than him."
Others set to work on the project include Flying Lotus, Zomby, Stenchman and Brodinsky. Mad Decent also collaborated with Gucci's 1017 Brick Squad to release a Free Gucci t-shirt.
