Yet more nostalgia has been dug out of someones personal collection during October, this time from Kenny Parker, (will we ever lose the fascination with this stuff?), and more reflections on the golden era were born. Either way, it all provides new material to satisfy our thirst for traditional hip hop. Here's a few of the better items that turned up during October.
The Parker Boys
If you missed this release from Kenny Parker (bigger bro of KRS-1) then make sure you catch it now. Kenny holds many old recordings of KRS and this particular snippet is from a very young KRS spitting some classic rhymes over various breaks, beatboxes etc. It's a poignant reminder of just how great KRS was in his prime.
Who Got The Props?
Black Moon's debut LP Enta Da Stage turns 20 years old this year and to mark the occasion Duck Down Music have produced this mini documentary that reflects on how the album came together. There's some nice tid bits of history in this.
Cold Chillin Megamix
Tizwarz The Real has put together a 40 minute Cold Chillin megamix which includes 89 tracks. Do the math, that's a lot of dope tracks in a short time, but it's good fun to stick it on (without checking the track listing) and see how many of them you can name before the next one comes on :)
It's also testament to just how much work Marley Marl was putting in and the number of classics that label produced.
