Light Up

this exploration of millennial hip hop concludes by dragging us out of the dark and into the light, showing us the only way to find satisfaction is by doing it yourself. these last two mixes are a snapshot of where independent hip hop was at 10 years ago… i wonder where it will be 10 years from now?

Dark Down

at the turn of the millennium hip hop was over 20 years old and main stream. luckily there was an underground alternative created by cats who made hip hop because they had to. whose free expression wasn’t concerned with Billboard and bling; only a passion for hip hop… and it shows.
