Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth's classic LP 'Mecca and the Soul Brother' turned 30 recently, so reminisce for a spell with a mix of OG Samples, Remixes, & Blends. The way Pete sampled old jazz/funk/soul records and layered them over hard, dusty drums was masterful (how he caught that little part on the fadeout of an Ohio Players record for 'Lots Of Lovin' still amazes me). Combine that with C.L.'s sharp yet fluid lyricism (how many MC's could rhyme like THIS back in '92??), and you unquestionably have one of the pillars of early 90's NYC boom bap. ******THE MAIN INGREDIENT 30TH ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTE HERE**** https://soundcloud.com/djfilthyrich/pete-rock-cl-smooth-main-ingredient-30th-anniversary-mix

Fugees - The Score 25th Anniversary Mix Vol.1 (mixed by DJ Filthy Rich)

Celebrating 25 years of Fugees classic LP 'The Score' with a mix of rarities, remixes, blends + original samples. One of the reasons I liked this album was the fusion of dancehall reggae & island culture, so I took it a step further and added Cutty Ranks, Mad Lion, Buju Banton, Bounty Killer, Born Jamericans & Kulcha Don to the mix. Vol.2 coming soon... SOCIALS: www.instagram.com/djfilthyrich/ twitter.com/djfilthyrich416 www.facebook.com/DJ-Filthy-Rich-572216909601122/ www.youtube.com/user/djfilthyrich1/videos
