Damon Dash and Kareem “Biggs” Burke will release a new mixtape called Beyond Reasonable Doubt showcasing music from Reasonable Doubt done by former Roc-A-Fella artists. Via AHH:

Beyond Reasonable Doubt is a series of songs that were recorded three or four years ago with artists that were signed to a pre-breakup Roc-A-Fella Records.

“A couple of years back, because Reasonable Doubt was so endearing to us, and it was like the only thing that me and Biggs [the other previous co-owner of Roc-A-Fella Records] and Jay really owned 100%, we always wanted to celebrate it. I thought it would be good to put out something where we paid tribute to the records that were on Reasonable Doubt and other records, and we called it Beyond Reasonable Doubt, through the other artists. And also give the artists a platform to showcase their skills too.”

This is actually something we are looking forward to listening to. It will be good to hear stuff from the pre-divorce Roc era. Artists like Rell, Nicole Wray, Oschino & Sparks, Memphis Bleek, etc. will be on the mixtape. And for all of you that were thinking that this was a set up to cash in on Jay-Z American Gangster publicity season both Dame and Biggs state:

“This is how we’re giving back to the people,” Biggs said. Concurring, Dash said, “We ain’t making no money off it. It’s not for a sale. It’s for a listen. It’s for a gander.”

You can’t beat that deal.
