Back from Hiatus, Lt. Dan Eyes Mashup Crown, Readies New Project with Ecks.

SOURCE NOT STATED IN THE POST

DJ Lt. Dan announces return with new mixtape with Ecks of New Regime.

After being conspicuously absent from the genre, which he had a hand in creating, Lt. Dan is poised to return the crown of the remix genre to

its rightful place, atop his head. While Lt. Dan admits he has at times been denied the credit he deserves in creating the mashup/ remix craze

in Hiphop, with such projects as Lt Dan Presents The Black Album (the very first black album remix) and his genre redefining effort King

of What's Poppin with Michael Jackson, Dan simply retorts: "I was the first DJ to do a lot of things I didn't get credit for" and confidently

promises to keep it moving in the new year.

Lt. Dan has plucked up street poet Ecks (formerly know as Professor Ecks) for his first effort, a project called Rebuilding. Ecks is known by

many for his early work with KRS-One as well his 2005 single Ski Mask Music which set records on East Coast college radio circuits. When

asked why he selected Ecks for his come back project Dan answers: "No one in the mainstream is really bringing anything new, but Ecks is one

of those hungry MC's whose always bringing his "A" Game. Rebuilding features over 15 exclusive tracks including appearances from Sly Boogy,

St. Laz of Pottersfield and Balance, as well as original mashups featuring Lupe Fiasco, Nas & Royce da 5'9. Rebuilding drops March 21.
