The Music Tank

This month, Smirnoff will be starting their Smirnoff Signature Mix Series consisting of taking classic tracks and remixing them. The artists chosen for this series are Common, Q-Tip & KRS-One. Each one wil team up with reknowned producers. Just Blaze will help Common shed a different perspective on the J Dilla-produced classic “The Light”. In the mean time, Q-Tip and Cool & Dre will revisit A Tribe Called Quest’s “Midnight”. The final piece of the series will be Boogie Down Production’s “Criminal Minded” that KRS-One will be remixing with no other than DJ Premier.

Each pairing represents a Smirnoff mixed drink made by blending one of the Smirnoff flavored vodka products with a popular mixer. “The Southside,” made with Smirnoff Green Apple flavored vodka and cranberry juice, is the inspiration for the Chi-town native Common and Just Blaze’s collaboration. “The Blueberry Abstract,” made with Smirnoff Blueberry flavored vodka and lemonade, was of course chosen by Mr. Abstract himself, Q-Tip, and Cool & Dre. “The Cypha,” an exciting blend of Smirnoff Raspberry flavored vodka and pineapple juice, represents the collaboration between KRS-One and DJ Premier.

All three songs, their music videos, and the behind-the-scenes production footage will be available for free download exclusively at SmirnoffSignatureMixSeries.com beginning on February 19th.
