Indulge in some neck-snapping Queensbridge Hip Hop from the turn of the new millennium with the 2025 release of "Y2K Instrumentals". It's an all-star affair with Marley Marl, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Mike Heron, Groove Merchants and others on the boards. For some reason Hydra Beats only let 1.5 to 2 minutes of each instrumental to play. In true Hip Hop tradition I assume they designed this release for the DJ to cut up and extend each of these instrumentals.

Below, Screwball reminisce on the making of the "Y2K" album on their own podcast.
