In 2010, DJ Jazzy Jeff and MICK (then Mick Boogie) collaborated to release the Summertime Mixtape Vol 1, which fittingly opened with the track Summertime by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. It includes: Kool & The Gang – Summer Madness, Quincy Jones – Summer In The City, Ahmad – Back In The day, Ice Cube – It Was A Good Day, Roy Ayers – Everybody Loves The Sunshine, Bush Babees – The Love Song, Michael Jackson – I Can’t Help It, Carl Thomas – Summer Rain, Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly – Before I Let Go and En Vogue – My Lovin’.

Since then, they have released a new mixtape in the series every summer (in the northern hemisphere). Summertime 6 is now available and it is a must get if you are a fan of old school soul, R&B and hip hop. So many songs are part of my life’s soundtrack from Grace Jones, Rick James and Chubb Rock to Johnny Kemp, Rose Royce and Jade. The tracklist is below:
