Gummy Soul has done it once again. Wally Clark pays tribute to Sould of Mischief's classic 93 'Till Infinity by giving them a unique spin on the remix. He revisited the best hip hop of 1993 and compiled all of the classic samples used in songs of the day. Wally then created "new compositions using the same techniques they were using – such as filtered bass lines, classic drum breaks, echo-y horns – to make an album that sounds like it could have been released in 1993."

DJ Spintelect, the DJ for Talib Kweli and Alexander Spit, has put together a mix of 100% Nas at his best. Presented by LNG, this tape features the MCs best tracks in one continuous flow. Stream and Download the tape below.
