I'm Righteous As Rufus

36th Chamber

The Foundation 05.28.24 (1997)

In celebration of the genre’s 50th year, we’ve teamed up with London based ‘Classic Material’ to present a chronologically themed series of mixtapes celebrating the history of recorded Rap music, mixed by Chris Read. Alongside the Hip Hop series, this companion Breaks series takes our re-cap of Rap History a level deeper, this time reconstructing the classics of the Hip Hop canon from their constituent sample material. Arranged chronologically of course, this tenth volume pieces together popular Hip Hop tunes from the years of 1996 and 1997, utilising only the Funk, Soul & Jazz tracks from which they were originally constructed – over 80 breaks in the mix! Artwork pays homage to Paul Winley’s iconic ‘Super Disco Brakes’ compilation series.

#HIPHOP50: Classic Material The Breaks #11 (1996-1997) mixed by Chris Read

I've decided that, like the other Workinonit mixes, I'd put out an extended version of the live set that I dropped at the MF DOOM tribute at Manchester's Workinonit in October 2024. The mix is jam packed with all things DOOM from samples, remixes, covers, production & more. I wanted to get this out right after the set but I’ve had a crazy few weeks here and have only just got time to record it!!

Along with stright up DOOM tracks, this mix also features appearances from Your Old Droog, Jay Electronica, Ghostface Killah, Kurious, Mach-Hommy, Bishop Nehru, Kool Keith, Tuxedo, Aesop Rock, Homeboy Sandman, Prince Po, C-Rayz Walz, Vast Aire, Czarface, Moka Only, Count Bass D, Tommy Gunn, Wale Oyejide, KRS-One, Atmosphere and many more.

As well as those featurwed above, this mix dips into tracks from Madlib, Oh No, Hell Razah, Flying Lotus, Abstract Orchestra, Dabrye, Jneiro Jarel, Danger Mouse, Lice, Kuartz, Criseal, Chris Craft, Tom Caruana, 3rd Bass, Cannibal Ox, BADBADNOTGOOD, Czarface, Masta Ace, Wilma Archer, DJ Matman, Non Phixion to name a few.

Sample wise...... nah, I'm not gonna snitch but expect a global sampe base, from obscure to household names.  This digs deep!!!

As with Episode One, this mix is jam packed with all things DOOM from samples, remixes, covers, production from well know to obscure. No matter if you’re a KMD, ground zero fan or have recently discovered him, I guarantee there’s something for everyone!!!

Big up to everyone that checked out Episode One.  If you haven't it's on here too.

Also, if you don't follow me on socials, here's the link to pretty much everything. It would be great to link up so that I can say thanks for all the support.

Grown Man Rap Show - Episode 386 - Rakim birthday tribute | DJ Toast

A live mix from Dj Mighty Mi at Best Friend, Las Vegas showcasing all Long Island Golden Era Hip Hop.

Strictly Strong Island Mix live at Best Friend, Las Vegas (02-14-2025)

Tribute mix celebrating Pete Rock & CL Smooth's masterpiece 'The Main Ingredient', which turned 30 recently.
'Mecca & The Soul Brother' is the more iconic/important album, but Main Ingredient slowly became my favorite over the years.....for a lot of the same reasons I lean to ATCQ's Midnight Marauders over Low End Theory.
Pete's production went from a harder/dusty sound on MATSB, to a warm/melodic vibe on TMI.  The samples Pete chose hit your soul in that sweet spot:  from Cannonball Adderley on 'In The House', to George Benson on 'I Get Physical' + 'In The Flesh', to Roy Ayers on 'Searching'....masterful.  Pair that with CL's smooth voice & flow, and your soul starts to vibrate....
