3 CRATES DEEP AND DIGGING: THE DE LA SOUL MIX, VOL. 1

The new mix is up and ready. For those who missed a few previous posts, I worked and slaved on a mix paying homage to De La Soul and Prince Paul's crowning achievement, 3 Feet High and Rising. Released 20 years ago, the record still holds its own as a pioneering and mind-detonating example of sampling mastery. It still is often regarded as one of the most creative album in hip hop's history and, in terms of popular music, it leaves a deep footprint amongst some of the greatest records ever recorded. The mix was intended to both honor De La as well as explore the makings of 3 Feet realizing that it took years of others musical achievements to make the record what it was.
