We Got It 4 Cheap

"We Got It 4 Cheap" is a series of mixtapes released by Virginia hip hop duo Clipse and their group, the Re-Up Gang. The series' latest installment, entitled "Volume 3: The Spirit of Competition (We Just Think We're Better)" was released on February 5, 2008. The main theme of all three mixtapes is drug trafficking, which has always been a Clipse and Re-Up Gang trademark. [Sylvester, Nick (January 17, 2006).

Released in early 2004, "We Got It 4 Cheap Volume 1" was the first official collection of new material from Clipse since the release of their debut album "Lord Willin'" in late 2002. It is hosted by prominent mixtape DJ Clinton Sparks, who helped put the mixtape together, at Pusha T's request. [A. Berrios, Martin (February 1, 2005).

They are both heavily featured throughout its twenty-five tracks.
