Girls Dreams

<p>Today, <i>Hamilton<i> </i></i>creator Lin-Manuel Miranda <a href="https://twitter.com/Lin_Manuel/status/794194415581560832" target="_blank">announced</a>​ that there'll be a companion mixtape of sorts for the incredibly divisive and incredibly successful historical rap musical he helmed last year. <i>The Hamilton Mixtape</i> seems to be a collection of unused tracks and alternate versions of songs from the musical that feature actual rappers on them instead of Broadway actors (respect to Daveed Diggs, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4HQb7DZI0I" target="_blank">that intro on the first Clipping album</a> is insane).</p><p><a href="http://ift.tt/2fjibym; target="_blank">The guest list here</a> is nuts: the Roots show up multiple times, while Nas, Wiz Khalifa, and Chance the Rapper are among the featured rappers along with Kelly Clarkson, for kicks. Most importantly, though, there's a rework of the musical's love theme "Helpless" with none other than Ashanti and Ja Rule. A reminder: this is the duo who gave us classics like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcP96KbFIIU" target="_blank">"Mesmerize"</a> and "Always on Time," so props to Miranda for this expert curating and truly giving the people what they want.</p><div data-keep=""><div style="left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;" class="article__embed article__embed--youtube"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0tcDXJfAFVw?wmode=transparent&rel=0&autohide=1&showinfo=0&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen style="top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;"></iframe></div></div><p><i>Phil's on </i><a href="http://twitter.com/philwitmer" target="_blank">Twitter.</a></p>
