Ike Love, a Queens dj who put out a ton of mixtapes back in the 90's, recently passed along some live audio of a Biggie performance from '94 at the old Q Club in NYC celebrating the release of Ready To Die. It takes a minute for the freestyle session to get going, but once it does Mic Geronimo, Busta Rhymes, Craig Mack, Rampage and Biz Markie all jump in after Biggie drops a live version of Who Shot Ya. There's an intro at the beginning of the clip from DJ Clue, so those of you who have the full collection of Clue mixtapes may have already heard this one before. It's new to me, though. Check it out:

Ike Love's facebook page says that he's currently working as a train operator for the NYC MTA, but he hasn't lost his dj skills as evident by the steady stream of blends he's been putting up on his soundcloud page. The best of the bunch is a blending of Adele's Rolling in the Deep and Biz Markie's Something for the Radio:
