DJ CHIEF-ONE - 1996 MIXTAPE (Part 1)

When @evboogie from @upnorthtrips proposed the idea for a mix celebrating the 20th anniversary of Ironman, we couldn't resist, considering that Ghostface might be our favorite rapper ever. 

Since Ironman was the last of six Wu-Tang albums produced entirely by Rza, we widened the scope of the mix in order to pay homage to his legendary run in that classic Wu-Tang era.

J.PERIOD Presents RAGE IS BACK [The Mixtape]

25 Years ago today Raekwon dropped his game-changing 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx'.  I've had this date circled on my project calendar since January.....If I only recorded 2 tributes out of all the classics released in 1995, OB4CL & Mobb Deep's 'The Infamous' were the absolute Must-Do's.  Those masterpieces were like artistic cousins and quickly became the soundtrack to that summer.  To say this album was important is a HUGE understatement.  It was monumental, and arguably the apex of the Wu solo catalog.
This LP cemented Rae & Ghost as a dynamic duo as they formed their own clique-within-the-clique, effortlessly passing each other the baton over RZA's cinematic production.   Weaving intricate stories of street tales mixed with 5%-er knowledge, this project played out like a feature film.  Vividly spit in their coded slanguage, you felt like you were right there next to them on the island of Staten.  I tried to maintain the original feel of the LP, while adding some original samples + blends to switch things up a bit.
Since the album is more pka The Purple Tape, I'm dropping this tribute cassette-style with 2 separate sides. 

SIDE B coming soon.....
