Theory has masterfully reworked the original sample Dilla used to craft Busta Rhymes’ “Show Me What You Got” from his “Anarchy” album (an underrated gem in the Dilla catalog) to produce a remix for The Package’s “This is Me”, off of their debut album, “New Golden Era”. Check out the remix from the link above then take a listen to the original versions via the links below to see the magic that happens when the elements of both were combined by Theory!

“This Is Me (Theory loves Dilla remix)” will be released as part of the “All The Way To Heaven” EP, comprised of songs where Theory revisits samples from overlooked gems in the Dilla catalog and puts them in a new context via remixed songs by his group, The Package. A love letter to Dilla in heaven from us mere mortals still striving to keep the tradition alive in his absence…
For those of you who haven’t had a chance to sample Theory’s “Beat Tape Uno” instrumental album release, you can now stream tracks of it at the player above (or at thepackage.bandcamp.com directly). Enjoy!
“Basement Classics” is a late Valentines Day gift from PKG to everyone who has shown us love these past 12 months. Mixed by Theory, this blend of unreleased songs by Dimes and Noyeek (of The Package) and Spirit Equality should keep your winter warm till spring comes.
The Dimensions (a/k/a Dimes) songs are from his upcoming solo debut, “Slanguage (Brain Cell.a.Bration)” and the Noyeek the Grizzly Bear (a/k/a Grizz) songs are from his upcoming sophomore solo album “Eartertainment”, both dropping sooner than you expect (weather alert: spring and summer will be warmer than usual this year…LOL)
