Clipse have teamed with mixtape-meisters Mick Boogie and Wally Sparks to release Rock Muzick, a mixtape companion to their excellent new album Hell Hath No Fury. The mixtape features Hell Hath tracks, freestyles, and even two "throwback bonus tracks" (including very early single "The Funeral") at the end, according to Boogie and Sparks' League Crew website.

Contributing MCs to the mixtape include Biggie, Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, Ludacris, the Game, Fam-Lay, UGK, Mobb Deep, Rick Ross, and Ab-Liva, of Clipse's four-man Re-Up Gang. Also on two tracks is Lil Wayne, who we thought was on poor terms with the Thornton brothers, not that they have to be in the same room to record a track together. Come to think of it, Biggie-- assuming the name refers to the late Notorious B.I.G.-- isn't even in the same time period. We're guessing this means the involvement of some Diddy-style cut-and-pasting in at least one instance, which must be what the press release refers to with the phrase "creative remixes."

Rock Muzick is available for purchase here, and Clipse do indeed have it for cheap: only seven dollars. They are just talking about mixtapes, right?
