If you recall Gangstarr promo photos from back in the day, Premier was heavy into the Columbia jackets back in ‘94. So was NYC where the variety of colorful designs worn by us adolescents lit up the streets. If you wore or remember the Columbia wave in the 90’s, drop a comment!
Side note: BRING BACK COLOR TO HIP HOP FASHION! I see a lot of the youth lately rocking all black here in NYC. It's about time we bring back the art of color to the culture.
If you’re interested in owning a piece of Hip Hop history, I’ve got a copy of the fleece and jacket worn by Preemo here at my eBay storefront (Large and XL sizes). Thanks in advance if you decide to purchase this gear (or anything else) through my link. eBay will compensate me to help support my continued work of promoting classic music here at the blog.
Enjoy this discovery of classic Hip Hop gear along with a classic mix by Preemo. He catches wreck on the turntables during his former radio show "The Thunderstorm" on the great NYC radio station WBLS FM. This set was just before the release of Jeru The Damaja's debut album.
With Masters At Work on production, Brian's legendary catalog receives a whole new life. ‘Now More Than Ever’ is a testament to music that is capable of transcending time based on the universal desire to achieve a brighter tomorrow and get down in the process.
Kilroy Creative are known for their bold and colorful illustrations that capture the likeness of musical greats. Below is their J Dilla Pop-Art enamel pin which captures Jay using a color spectrum you've probably never seen him in before. Visit their eBay shop here to view more music portraits (As an eBay Partner, I may be compensated if you make a purchase).
Get yourself a copy of this collectors item here at Juno Records or here at Amazon while you enjoy a '91 performance by Brand Nubian below I also posted the full instrumental version of "One For All" here in case you missed it before.
In Wake Up Show style, Sway & Tech unite regions of Hip Hop for and outstanding moment of rhyme in the year of '92. Lend your ear to these poetic psychos who drop mackadocious lyrics over funky beats.
Using stem extraction technology, A 90's Tape does a decent job of capturing these instrumentals that weren't officially released. On some of these ones by G Rap and Kane you can hear some of the washy effect of audio extraction. I'll send him my article on the subject to see if it helps his work in engineering these instrumentals.
You can get a copy of the Korean 2026 CD reissue of "Reebop" here on Discogs or here at the Funk section of my eBay Storefront (disclosure: As an eBay Partner, I may be compensated if you make a purchase).
