BRL.. 90s Hip-Hop par deux...

I've decided to keep each post short and sweet but two tracks really can't illustrate the magic of 90s Hip Hop. So I'm giving you more!

A Tribe Called Quest






















Need I really say much more other than ATCQ! Thought not, but anyways it was so difficult to chose just one track from their selection, but I did so with much difficulty. 'Check the Rhime' is so funky, and a perfect illustration of Q- Tip and Phife Dawg's rhyming finesse paired with Ali's incredible beat-making abilities. And just to top it all off.. the beat was sampled in another favourite song of mine...... 90s RnB classic 'Candy Rain' by Soul 4 Real! So check the Rhime y'all x


Ahmad



















Ahmad's classic song is the perfect anthem for reminiscing on old times. "Back in the day" embodies the feeling of wanting to revisit the past.

Pete Rock and CL Smooth




























This power duo have produced so many true classics. Yet T.R.O.Y will always be the standout track for me, when they reminisce over you my gaarsh!

Skeel lo














Skeel lo's smash is the ultimate 'loser anthem.' Despite the self-pitying lyrics the song is a typical upbeat 90s summerjam and is a great listen, no matter what mood you find yourself in.
