Posted by Beko in Blog, News, mixtapes | May 18th, 2010

Where were you when “Bring Da Rukus” came out?  How old were you? How about “The Gas Face”?  Were you even born yet? Let these mixes take you back to the days of real hip-hop. DJs ELmattic and Grandman team up with illcuts.com and Dotgotit.com to take you on an musical journey back in time. These two distinct years are arguably the best in the history of hip-hop. May the best era win.

Many agree that it is his best work to date.

Underground Superproducer KATO teams up with The Beat Gods and 4-ize for this joint fresh off off the deli tray. The ATL music scene is a well oiled machine cranking out innovative music on the regular.  I just want to know, what does it mean to go “Ham”?  Please leave a comment on what you think this all means.
