This is an archive of the Clean Up Hour. Tonight takes us back to the summer of 2004, where Jadakiss was everywhere promoting Kiss of Death (including G-Phoria, rather than the Spike Video Game Awards, as I misremembered!), the American government continued to astound by virtue of its un-reality, and I was just enjoying life as a carefree ten year old who wanted to take in all the hip hop and video games that he could. The summer had a number of releases that, I argue, made clear to my younger self why I wanted to go further into the world of rap music, so tonight's mix reflects that.

To those of you looking for the slowed + reverb version of "Benji the Dog" by Mac Miller (RIP), it was copyright claimed after 15,000 plays. If you're desperate for the mp3, dm me here and we can work something out.
