DJ Kay Slay Posthumously Releases One Hour All-Star Track Featuring 200 MCs

Published Mon, November 6, 2023 at 12:00 PM EST

The fourth installment of the late DJ Kay Slay's "Rollin' Deep" series dropped recently, and features 200 MCs with a run time of one hour.

This new installment follows 2005's "Rolling 25 Deep," 2020's "Rolling 50 Deep," and 2021's "Rolling 110 Deep." "Rolling 200 Deep" features first generation legends such as MC Sha Rock, Grandmaster Melle Mel, MC. G.L.O.B.E., Grandmaster Caz, and Coke La Rock, and later legends like Run and DMC, Big Daddy Kane, Snoop Dogg, Ice-T, The Original Spinderella, DJ Doo Wop, Kid Capri, and many, many more. The song is already receiving high praise on social media with several of the MCs involved posting their parts of the bicoastal multigenerational track.

Kay Slay friend, collaborator and promotor Van Silk told Rock The Bells that Kay was fully involved with "Rolling 200 Deep," and that it was scheduled to be released before his untimely passing. "Everything was done, it just didn't get released because he got sick," he explains. "He was hands on with everything, it just wasn't put together. The song was supposed to drop the month that he got sick, in December 2021. Jarrod "The General" Whittaker was Kay Slay's partner, and he was in charge of making sure that everything got done. He's extremely important to the completion of this project."

Silk says further that "Rolling 200 Deep" was the final project that Slay touched before passing. "That was the final project. Me and Slay were about to work on a project called "The Gate Keepers", but everything on "200 Deep" was recorded prior to his death. He had the artists' videos shot, or they shot it and submitted it to him. Sha Rock, Waterbed Kev & Master Rob, and MC G.L.O.B.E. were that last artists recorded.
