Despite whatever opinion you may share on Rick Ross, one cannot deny that the man has a great ear for incredible, ethereal production.

Check out a short documentary on the now 67 year old Frenchie Alain Mion, who, in a way, inadvertently helped Ross create his soulful “coke raps.” Peace to Gasface. Below, you can stream La Crème de la Crème, a dope mixtape that pays tribute to all of the great French jazz artists and the songs that were spawned from the originals.
