Lin-Manuel Miranda reveals tracklist for upcoming ‘The Hamilton Mixtape’
The mixtape, which opened for preorders Friday, will feature Nas, John Legend, The Roots and Andra Day

Would you believe me if I told you Lin-Manuel Miranda is about to drop the hottest mixtape of 2016? Just you wait.
Miranda released the tracklist to his latest musical endeavor Wednesday afternoon. It features a lineup of top musical talent just as diverse as the cast of the Broadway play, Hamilton. The project, simply titled, The Hamilton Mixtape, will feature covers of songs originally sung in the now iconic musical as well as a handful of original songs.
Miranda announced the project back in March, originally detailing to Vanity Fair that he was working on the mixtape with The Roots’ Questlove, and that it would feature artists such as Chance The Rapper, Queen Latifah and Common. While those features alone could make any album, Miranda was only teasing audiences. The full tracklist includes songs from Usher, Wiz Khalifa, Nas, John Legend, Busta Rhymes, Andra Day, The Roots and Miranda, who originally said he would not feature himself on the album.
And if that isn’t enough, let’s not forget a reunion of Ja Rule and Ashanti. The two will be collaborating for a cover of Helpless.
Late Thursday night, Miranda released two singles from the mixtape to help hold eager fans over until the release date. Listeners can stream the cover of My Shot by The Roots, which features Busta Rhymes, Joell Ortiz and Nate Ruess, as well as a cover of It’s Quiet Uptown, sang by Kelly Clarkson.
The release date for the mixtape is expected to be Dec. 2. Preorders for the highly anticipated album opened Friday morning.
