Mixshow Wednesday: Snakes – TheNewStyle
In this blog’s quest for its own identity, we’ve experimented with several different styles. Olde soul, nu funk, Afro-disco, spiritual jazz. This time we are just on some straight up hip-hop goodness. Proof that hip-hop didn’t die with Paul’s Boutique or Donuts or Hell Hath No Fury or whatever you goatee’d tight-sag hosers are claiming is The Last Great Hip-Hop Record this week. It flows from commercial to underground, south to north, east to west and so on. Snakes keeps it enjoyable and takes no shorts in the meantime.
I don’t even know this cat but I bumped the mix and trilly enjoyed it. And those that know me know: I’m not one to take 2 and not pass. Enjoy.
