I’ll let Mel talk about this one…
Four plus years, a whole lot of drama, and a lot of politics and ego’s later 10 songs from the last works of Detroit’s Mayor finally hits the internets. For those of you who haven’t been paying attention Proof and DJ Jewels Baby hooked up for a marathon recording session to write and record a full mixtape in 24 hours. The project has been plagued by drama since his death in 2006. The full CD is 18 tracks, I have to assume the remaining eight songs are still caught up in the dramaz or they are being held back for a commercial release.
Tracklist and link down bottom. SHAKE UPDATE: The 22-track version has been added.
Kuniva takes some time out to reflect on the untimely death of Proof. Off his upcoming Midwest Marauder mixtape. Also, hit the jump as Bizarre speaks on the upcoming D12 mixtape and album.

Today marks the fourth year of the tragic passing of one DeShaun Dupree Holton, better known as Proof, and his former D12 running mate Bizarre penned a letter to his fallen friend:
If he was alive it’d be funny to see him interact with these new guys in the game. His pranks were legendary. Anybody could get it at any time. Honestly, we pranked reporters more than anybody else. We’d do stupid stuff like answer the door and be naked. We got away with a lot overseas.
Proof was always a jokester but through it all he took me under his wing. He really let me explore. He would always make sure that I was straight. Didn’t matter what it was. He’d make sure that I had money in my pocket and always kept a funny line in the pocket. I was a young guy, so you know, I really want to take this time out to thank him for his knowledge.
