DESCRIPTION: With the tragic passing of Hip-Hop pioneer DJ Kay Slay, there is no better time to look at one of his early mixtapes. This mixtape in particular is a whose who of every person was the face or would become the face of Hip-Hop in the coming years. The sound of this project brings you back to the moment of it’s creation and that ability of creating a sort of time capsule of the times shows the importance of the mixtape era.

BEST SONG: SEVEN DEADLY SINS
