DJ Clark Kent plays some exclusives of 95 like Junior Mafia's Players Anthem, Cool J's I Shot Ya, Rakim's Remember That, with some original samples played in between each record from The New Birth, Gwen McRae, David Porter and others. This is good to sit back and listen to on a weekend, I miss hearing samples mixed by a DJ on commercial radio like this.
Ol' Dirty Bastard and Brooklyn Zu stop by WHCR radio of NY for an interview, phone calls and a freestyle, just months before his first solo LP release. As I've said before, every media moment of Dirty from this period before the Wu really blew up is worth checking, from the humor, entertainment and honesty he brings. I think radio appearances like this were a preview to the wild humor heard on his album, Return To The 36 Chambers.
The unreleased cut from Mobb Deep is a demo version of Q.U. Hectic, which features Big Twin of Infamous Mobb. The beat is kinda mellow, especially when you compare it to all that darkness presented on The Infamous. If you're a true Mobb fan I think you'll understand it though, the song definitely knocks, just lacks that hard, dark edge that most songs have on that album. I think the mood of the production fits this story their telling about the streets in a less threatening, more reflective way.
