And1 Mixtape Volume 2…Just added to what made the first one so great. This one had a bunch of different ballers featured in it like Walivy “Main Event” Dixon, Shane (the dribbling machine), Future, Half-Man Half-Amazing, and many more. In this video Main Event dunks on players and over motorcycles. He was dunking everywhere on this tape. Shane and Future showed off their handles and creativity with under the leg passes and nasty crossovers. Most other cats like Half Man Half Amazing were on the receiving end of alley oops from other New York ballers. Volume 2 features new music by Mos Def, Busta Rhymes, Ras Kass, and Deadly Snakes. Both mix tapes were hosted by Set Free.
And1 Mixtape Volume 3…The best Mixtape to date. Everybody was talking about this tape when it hit. Hoopsters who’d never heard of the mix tapes…hell never heard about And1…they even knew about this tape. The baller that makes this worth watching over and over and over again is Hot Sauce. This guy from the ATLANTA is straight up killing folks on this thing, he got moves up his sleeve like his windmill and boomerang that nobody had ever seen before. Another tight baller on this tape is AO from Philly; while he wasn’t getting people as hyped as Sauce was, he still showed off his mad skills. Other Ballers like Future and Main Event were still representing on the tape; you can check out all the Mix tape ballers on the 2001 And1 Mix tape Tour coming to a city near you.

And1 Mixtape Volume 1…When this tape hit the b-ball world it was amazing. No one had ever seen a tape like this before. The AND1 Mix tape put together the many different highlights of ballers up in New York’s Rucker Park with the latest music to hit the hip-hop world. Rucker Park is one of the most well known places for ballers around the nation to show off their skills. In volume 1, Rafer “Skip to my Lou” Alston is the main baller featured.

Volume 6 toured Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York City. The tape introduced former AND1 player and New York streetball legend Tyrone "Alimoe" Evans AKA The Black Widow.
