| Show Description | | Okay, I must admit that over the last couple years I've been rather disappointed with the majority of hip-hop releases; have struggled to find joints worthy of being labeled “dope” (never mind "classic”); and found that more golden era emcees/producers have faltered into stylistic obsolescence rather than remaining relevant (or even interesting). Obviously, good music comes out here and there, but it's not as easy today to go to the record store and pull a grip of dope vinyl as it were in, let's say, '93 or even '98 (maybe the reason being digitization…of the studio, the store, and most importantly, the music format). Point being: well, I'm damn happy that in this month's Welfare Radio I actually had to exclude new music from making the cut. These releases have also given me hope that some of my favorite musicians of yesteryear can still make dope LPs (i.e. Large Pro, Nas, Heltah Skeltah, etc.), building upon, and therefore evolving past, the music that got me going when I was a kid. Regardless, there are a crapload of dope records dropping right now and I'm getting a bit excited about this music again…this mix celebrates such excitement. And look, man, I'm on time with this mix too for the first time in almost a year. Dang! Peep the game, and I hope you feel the same way about this batch of music as I do. |

Comment: vinyl when it's available. serato is only a tool, not a lifestyle. most of these are mp3s which is a troubling sign of the times. |
