This infamous green tape was released around 1994.This was the first tape out of my Old School Need To Learn-O series..Out of all the mixes i have done, this tape is my favorite because the songs on this mix is what got me into hip hop. This is hip hop at it's purest form....This is one of the most sought after mixes i have done..Also this is Pre-Serato which means all vinyl records were used..This is my gift to all of my fans..ENJOY!!!!

SOS is proud to present a collaboration with Ed Piskor and Fantagraphics Books for Issue 12 of the internationally acclaimed Hip Hop Family Tree comic. 

PURCHASE HHFT ISSUE 12: slice-of-spice.com/collections/comics

To celebrate the final monthly issue of HHFT we've teamed up with super DJ/Producer, Jorun Bombay, to drop an incredible flexi-postcard found in every copy! What better way to represent a comic than cutting "Hip Hop Family Tree Pt.1" into a record made from paper including FREE MP3 DOWNLOAD*

Issue 12 makes it's debut at Comic-Con International: San Diego this week where Ed Piskor is up for 3 Eisner Awards for Book 3, which is featured in this issue. There's too many incredible milestones in this issue to name! LL Cool J makes a record with Rick Rubin and Def Jam. KRS One gets arrested and meets his future DJ. The Fat Boys and Run DMC headline the first national Hip Hop tours. Just to name a few.

*DISCLAIMER: A flexi-postcard is made of paper and does not have the same audiophile aspects as vinyl. It is a collectors item/gimmick added to each comic for free, including a link to download the full audio.

Back in the day when I was a believer in extra terrestrial radio, I had a show running on a satellite medium. The show was called "In The Booth". I decided to upload one of the shows, just because. I may post more. I hope y'all enjoy it. This was from December 4th 2008.
