Solomun is taking a trip down memory lane as he prepares to release his remix of ‘Notorious Thugs‘, the iconic collaboration between The Notorious B.I.G. and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, the DJ and producer opened up about growing up in Hamburg during the 1990s, when hip-hop, funk, and soul played a major role in shaping his musical identity.
Before becoming one of electronic music’s most recognizable names, Solomun spent his time at a local youth center learning how to mix records, with MTV’s Yo! MTV Raps introducing him to artists from across the world.
From Biggie Fan to Official Remix
Solomun recalled hearing Biggie’s ‘Hypnotize‘ for the first time and being captivated by his effortless delivery, storytelling, and unmistakable presence.
That admiration extended to artists like Nas and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, whose music remained influential throughout his life.
Interestingly, Solomun revealed that he had previously reached out about collaborating with Bone Thugs-n-Harmony after hearing about their comeback.
