Undercurrents

If you’ve ever seen or heard the man Skratch Bastid in action you’ll want to hit up the release party for this very dope mix he put together with The Gaff. It all goes down tonight at the Revivial.

I could go on an on about the many reasons you should download the latest DJ JS1 mixtape but the track list speaks for itself, and JS1 has written a good chunk on his blog about the mix. If you love golden era 90’s hip-hop, this one is for you.
