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. This fourth bonus mix follows last month's Hip House round up with a collection of Hip Hop tracks influenced by the New Jack Swing sound of the late 80s and early 90s. Featured tracks include production from some of the producers central to the New Jack Swing sound – Teddy Riley, Eddie F, and some from those better known for a more classic Hip Hop style who also dabbled in the sound during the era – Marley Marl, Pete Rock and many more. The cover artwork references the classic Uptown Records label sleeve.

"Welcome to my world... the normal is not needed" -Tone
I started out in 1993 in Cincinnati when I was eight. Rapping and producing songs for my self and my friends. A beat machine and a Casio tape recorder from radio shack rapping in a cold basement day in and day out. I take this gift god gave me very seriously. I was the in-house producer/ artist for a Cincinnati label called “beat me up records” from 2003-2010. Within that span, I produced over a thousand songs (some of what you hear on the beat em presents tone and polo page). The labels 2006 independent movie “fish” I had a small role in and produced the movie score and soundtrack. As a free agent and these past few years I would say I grew a whole lot musically and personally. I moved to Atlanta to spread my wings professionally and personally. I see myself reaching endless proportions for the reason im chasing my passion. Moreover, not what my passion could bring. My ultimate goal is to become a major for in the entertainment industry. I have got the work ethic, the product, the answer to the demand, and last but not least, the truth.
