Theme for DiBlasio's inauguration. Wingz Up!

In celebration of Hip Hop'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. Edition #7 in this year by year series pays tribute to the Hip Hop of 1993, a year which many consider the pinnacle of Hip Hop's second golden era. Sampling and production techniques honed during the early 90s had reached a natural maturity by 1993 with key East Coast producers such as Pete Rock and the Beatnuts establishing their own trademark sounds. The East Coast also ushered in a new harder edged sound with Wu Tang and Onyx both delivering gritty debuts. On the West Coast, the ‘G Funk’ sound which found its feet the pervious year delivered one of its most accomplished albums in the form of Snoop’s seminal LP, Doggy Style. 1993 was also a great year for emerging undergound acts carving out their own sound, Souls of Mischief being a notable example. Cover artwork pays tribute to the iconic Elektra Records logo.

EMMY-Award wining!  Produced by J.PERIOD and co-written with The Roots' James Poyser, "The Doctor (Original Score)" was created exclusively for NBA TV's Julius Erving biopic, "The Doctor."  J.PERIOD's original theme fuses an emotional, melodic score (for Erving's off-court story) with a high-energy, hip hop anthem (for Dr. J's on-court acrobatics), and has been praised as "innovative" and "unique" by Complex Magazine: http://www.complex.com/sports/2013/06/j-period-soundtrack-nba-tv-dr-j-documentary-the-doctor.
