"Hamilton is full of show tunes that feel as vital as anything in contemporary pop, something Broadway hasn't done since back when it actually was contemporary pop.So it's no big shock that the long-awaited Hamilton Mixtape is so well done. Miranda executive-produced the project along with Black Thought and Questlove of the Roots, enlisting a cast of pop heavy hitters (Sia, Kelly Clarkson), R&B titans (John Legend, Alicia Keys) and hip-hop worthies (Nas, Chance the Rapper, Common) to offer illuminating cover versions and re-imaginings of the original cast recordings".
