Hamilton creator/star Lin-Manuel Miranda and the Roots' ?uestlove (executive producer of the Hamilton soundtrack) have announced The Hamilton Mixtape—a forthcoming all-star collection of remixes and covers. It's coming later this year and will feature Chance the Rapper, Busta Rhymes, Common, Regina Spektor, Ben Folds, and Queen Latifah, Vanity Fair reports.
"People are coming out of the woodwork, knocking on the door," ?uestlove said in an interview with Vanity Fair. Half the songs are cover versions of songs in the show, and the others are interpolations—we'll take some of this, some of that, and make something new out if it." Miranda says he won't appear on the compilation, saying "the goal is to keep this inspired by the original."
Hamilton's soundtrack recently won the Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album.
