"Illson 2012," the latest track from Queens hip-hop heroes Mobb Deep, was produced by Aaron LaCrate for his Milkcrate Athletics clothing line. The song brings LaCrate's aesthetic full circle by paying homage to the t-shirt design that made his brand famous. "I wanted to produce a track with the group that inspired the Illson t-shirt design, Mobb Deep," says LaCrate. "The t-shirt was worn by everyone from Jay-Z to Eminem, so it's kind of amazing to me to be able to produce the real 'Illson 2012' song with Mobb Deep, some of New York's most important MCs."

“I Can See for Miles”

The Who | 1967

A foreboding accusation of lies and deception, "I Can See for Miles" was given a psychedelic hard-rock veneer by Pete Townshend's whiplash guitar riffs and Keith Moon's thundering drums. The song helped break the Who as stars in the United States, giving them a Top Ten hit in late 1967. "I swoon when I hear the sound," boasted Townshend in Rolling Stone. "The words, which aging senators have called 'drug oriented,' are about a jealous man with exceptionally good eyesight. Honest."
