This may be my favorite album of all time. That's coming from a 30+ year collector of records. The only thing really missing is a RUN DMC track and/or maybe Grand Master Flash (is there an acapella for the Message? I'mma have to dig if so..) Beyond that it's perfection. You may be familiar with Tom Caruana from another Beatles mash up album Wu-Tang vs. the Beatles: Enter the Magical Mystery Chambers. A very dope album in it's own right but I think this new piece is even more stellar: It's called "An adventure to Pepperland Through Rhyme & Space".

Beatles samples and samples of Beatles covers by other artist make up the music bed for interspersed Beatles interviews and the finest in Hip Hop's most lyrical MC's and crews ever assenbled. If you are a Beatles fan that loves Hip Hop as I am you will love everything about this record from the meticulously Ill cover by the one and only Dan Lish (Uncredited as far as I can tell. but I checked with him personally and it's legit.) to the 2 clear thick wax records the music comes off of. Find yourself a copy immediately! Thank me later.
