DJ Jazzy Jeff, the man behind the song “Summertime” (and thus the institution, more or less), has partnered with Mick for the Summertime 6 mixtape, which just arrived today. The duo’s seasonal efforts have become a tradition in their own right, a benevolent gesture to ensure that we all have the perfect soundtrack for our BBQs, pool parties, and general sun-soaked frolics.
This year’s edition includes entries from everyone from James Brown to Jay Z to Grace Jones—the one constant is the vibes. Listen to and download the full mixtape (and all the mixes from years previous) on their site, summertime.fm.
