Dj A.Vee brings out a couple tapes from his physical archive from late 90's/early 2000, featuring memorable songs from this era of an active underground New York Hip Hop scene mixed with skill and precision. This is definitely a period of Hip Hop you should want to hear mixed and complied by a good DJ like A. Vee. The late 90's into early 2000 represented a divide between the growing commercial record industry and an underground scene which counteracted the industry to produce their own representation of traditional Hip Hop at a rapid rate. Many of the songs featured in this mix weren't accessible in commercial record stores, you had to be a vinyl buyer and go out of your way at the time to even catch some of these releases.

On "Regardless VII" those who contributed with the exclusives for this mix are: DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Eclipse, DJ Spin One, DJ Evil Dee, DJ 3D, DJ Riz, DJ Spinbad, DJ Spinna, J-Live, Mr. Morgan, & www.88HIPHOP.com
