\"Illuminati: The Prequel\" is hosted by mixtape heavyweights DJ Rated R and DJ Diggz (Potent Product). The compilation is executively (and exclusively) produced by Alexander The Great and showcases artist L. Maze alongside rap legends such as Kool G Rap, Godfather Pt3 of Infamous Mobb and Agallah. The freshman effort from Alexander The Great and L. Maze also features mixtape heavyweights Tom Gist, Murda Mook, Lino Cordova, Gawdbless and more. \"Illuminati: The Prequel\" seems to take listeners back to golden era of hip hop when records like Nas\' \"Illmatic\" or Jay-Z\'s \"Reasonable Doubt\" were just being released. This is a must have for the mainstream or underground hip hop fan.
