MC Eiht - Thuggin’ It Up (Nemesi Remix) 2006

Last time, we caught Nemesi taking a musical and mental trip to Naples, this time he takes us to Compton, California with his remix of MC Eiht’s “Thuggin’ It Up.” (He’s taken our accompanying picture as well.) Originally off the slept-on 1996 C-M-Dub “Death Threatz” album, “Thuggin’ It Up” takes on an epic, almost serene quality in this unofficial remix. The backing is provided by the 1973 recording “Sunday Kind Of Mood” by El Chicano. In my opinion there’s something about that remix that really does Eiht’s legacy as foremost teller of L.A. gang stories justice. Geah.

While still not overly dedicated to making music, Nemesi has nevertheless recently put together a disc with rapper Frodo, the beautiful, homemade “Acqua Fra Le Dita” (not available for purchase.)
