This is the first episode of the animated comic book shorts that will be accompanying Will’s upcoming DJ Skee/DJ Whoo Kid-assisted mixtape, Know My Name Vol. 1. This is a skit that appears on the mixtape, brought to life via comic book illustration, which will be downloadable with the tape when it’s released. The illustrations are by an amazing artist out of Texas named Profesone , and directed by legendary hip-hop visual artist Skam 2, who was the creative force behind artwork for Eminem’s The Slim Shady LP and A Tribe Called Quest’s Beats, Rhymes and Life, among others.

Episode 1 is the intro to Will’s mixtape, which finds him traveling back through time to learn all about hip-hop history. He’s guided by a clone of The Notorious BIG who visits him from the future. It’s followed by a short freestyle over “Know the Ledge,” which is also on the mixtape.
