THE 93 MIXTAPE

1993 was a vintage year for hip hop. 36 Chambers, Doggystyle, Midnight Marauders, 93 Til Infinity, Bacdafuccup, Slaughtahouse, Black Sunday, Lethal Injection, Return of the Boom Bap, Enta Da Stage and Buhloone Mind State are just a hint of the classic albums which hit speakers in the nine-trey. Timeless music.

To pay homage to this most awesome of hip hop years, Peak Street put a call out to all Australian MC’s to drop some bars over some classic beats from the year 1993 for a mixtape. All heads had to do was track down an instrumental to one of their favourite joints that was dropped in that year and then lay down some bars worthy of it.

Some of the finest lyricists, both established and underground answered the call with over 150 tracks being submitted. After much careful deliberation I gave the dopest tracks to Dazed from Down For The Count Records to put together into this mixtape. It got a stack of attention, was downloaded over 14,000 times that year, got features in street press nation wide and was the feature album on the Triple J Hip Hop Show where I also did an interview with Hau about it.
