Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton has been the hottest ticket on Broadway since its debut in the beginning of 2015. Much of that has been because of its music and how it brings together modern styles into the world of Alexander Hamilton. That is being expanded on with a new mixtape, which has a complete tracklist now. Two of the songs have been released - one from Kelly Clarkson and another by The Roots, remixed by Busta Rhymes, Joell Ortiz and Nate Ruess.
"My Shot" is at the top of the mixtape and one of the more famous selections that Miranda has adapted in some of his appearances in public like on Saturday Night Live. The Roots adapt the instrumental and allow for Busta Rhymes, Joell Ortiz and Nate Ruess to flow on the themes of achieving one's goals and self-actualization.
Kelly Clakson then comes in with "It's Quiet Uptown," a soaring pop tune about loss and forgiveness. It is a cover of the same song in the play, but with a more modern instrumental and sound.
The 23-song tracklist comes packed with big names across the board. In addition to the names that have already shared their songs, we have songs from Sia, Andra Day, Chance The Rapper, Common, Wiz Khalifa, John Legend, Nas and many more. The mixtape drops Dec. 2.
