In this 3rd (and final) installment of his New York Minute interview, 88-Keys goes back to 01, when he and Kanye met in a legendary midtown studio.
The rapper/producer remembers the first convo he ever had with his future great friend and executive producer, vibin’ on the way back to their respective places in Newark… while telling about their common history and the evolution of their friendship, he reveals how he got his name from a Large Pro & Q-tip freestyle a long, long time ago….

Today’s joint deals with a 3 years-older 88-Keys. Back in 97, young Charles is living in West Hempstead (Long Island) with his folks. Still in college, he hasn’t produce any track yet, doesn’t even have a single slice of pizza to his name. Too cool for school, 88′ll soon get kicked out of home…. All of a sudden, he has to prepare for rougher kind of life.
We will be coming out with a new version of an album that we released a couple of months back titled Where The Streets Have No Name. The project (which reached over 100,000 downloads in the 1st week) features exclusive music over our production from the likes of: Lil Wayne, Talib Kweli, Bun B, K’naan, Colin Munroe, Young Buck, U-N-I, Tabi Bonney, & many more…
The new version of the album is going to feature brand new remixes, new special guests, and more videos.
But before we release the new album, we are releasing this collector’s edition, which features new artwork by Pixel Pusher, along with the video version of “Don’t Die” (which has 88-Keys on the song instead of critically acclaimed lyricist Talib Kweli.) As well as a limited edition composition of “Don’t Die” that features both Talib Kweli and 88-Keys on it (along w/ Colin Munroe & Bun B of course.) Download this now, because soon it will be gone forever.
Tracklist + Download link after the jump.
