“Upon hearing the seductive, ethereal sounds of The XX, not many people would think of Notorious B.I.G. Taking The XX debut album, 24-year-old New Yorker, Charlie, has laid Biggie’s lyrical mastery over the beats of the London four-piece. The mash up explores yet another side to the long deceased rapper's vocal styles and creates a new brand of hip hop infused with indie Brit flavour. Stand out tracks include: 'Islands is the Limit', 'One More Chance For A Heart to Skip a Beat' and 'Everyday Shelter'. We're not too sure what the band think about the pairing... Watch this space for further comment.“

“This is a debut album from the DJ “Wait What”. The album is “The Notorious XX” and is a collab of Notorious and The XX. It features the vocals from a vocal legend if you will, Notorious. Wait What takes those vocals and throws them on top of some chill instrumentals by The XX. Its worth putting on your ipod because you are definitely going to want to show everyone you know.”

“One of the most creative mashups I’ve ever seen and definitely one of my favorites. The xx's music brings about a whole new side to Biggie's vocals, making them seem perhaps more heartfelt and sincere. I can't quite place why it seems that way to me, but it does and it's awesome. Whenever the intros for each song finish and the verse parts start and Biggie's vocals come in, it seems like the xx's music has more of a direction than it normally does, which certainly helps it. When the xx's vocals come in, it seems like the perfect chorus to round out the songs to make them very balanced.”

“Wait what? You heard right, Biggie rhymes over xx instrumentals. I love Biggie and I love the xx, what can go wrong? Surprisingly Amazing.”
