It has been a long time, since i dropped the last MIXTAPE. but it has been a busy time too with all kinds of stuff. however, i was diggin in my crates yesterday night and it seems like i got hooked by the late 90ties again. althought i made a little excursion to the present time too.

I tried to pick some "forgotten" vinyl goodies starting with Mass Influence (that might have been one of the most underrated Hip Hop acts ever aswell as Darc Mind who's finished album "Symtomatic Of A Greater Ill" was just not released by Loud Records after the 12inch debut dopeness "Outside Looking In" in 1996. (sorry, this had to be said again. by the way: Anticon did: 10 years later. you can find some tracks on former mixtapes). Heltah Skeltah, Persevere, Lateef, Homeless Derilex, Biggie (i love this track), Jamal and last but not least - one of my all time and absolute and ever deep burnin favourites -
"8 steps to perfection" by Company Flow (before their time aswell) including the Instrumental produced by El-P (founder of Definitive Jux).

Moreover i wanted to stay in the present time with a "Hip Hop after 2000" excursion from Zion I to Suff Daddy, Byron & Onra, Dal Green (french dopeness, check his album), Milez Benjiman to Danny Breaks. I hope you enjoy what you hear. you know i'm no battle-dj-scratch-kid, although i would love to be sometimes. i just want to make it a little journey into sound for you out there - diggin that sound!

peace from the lens. I will work on a cover soon, but i just didn't want to wait because of that. find a tracklisting here, download the mixtape there.
