Golden Era Hip Hop (90s Rap Mix)

The first volume in my new "IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW" CLASSIC HIPHOP MIXTAPE SERIES.  We're comin' out the gate with 1988! 

I am a Cali "Valley" girl and in 1988 I was a junior in high school.  The only way to hear hip hop was turning that AM radio dial to 1580 KDAY.  Big shout out to Julio G & the guys at KDAY for all they did for hip hop in LA in the 80's.  

After I fell in love with hip hop I would buy records & cassettes wherever I could. I came to find that I was really an east coast girl at heart.  I love my city, but I have just always been drawn to east coast production and cadence, it just hits different for me.  I spent a lot of time in New York from 90 to the early 2000's it will always hold a special place in my heart. 

There's an argument between whether 88' or 89' is the best year.  In my humble opinion, 88' is the most important year, 89' is the best year (in regards to the beginning of hip hop we're not talking about the 90's yet.  1988 is when visionaries arrived and different coasts and regions demanded a seat at the table.  1989 was the year when the rulers were challenged and delivered CLASSICS and the freshmen and sophomores came no holds barred.  I can't wait to start putting together 1989.

This volume dedicated to 1988 (given my DJ name I just had to lol), it's filled with all of my favorite songs & artists from 1988.  

This is series is my love letter to HIP HOP.  

I am so grateful for finding a home within this culture and community.  This series is for all the hip hop OGs out there & a proper history lesson for those somehow intrigued with the Futures & Lil' Ashtrays of the hip hop world.  When authenticity gets abused and manufactured you end of with one dimensional confusion that can become very dark in energy.  Everything has to go through its natural cycle, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I will be dedicating a volume to each year, but of course I had to start out with "88' U suckkasssss" #IYKYK

Boom Bap Resurrection - Vol 1

A jazzy hip-hop track themed around a gentle and warm golden breeze.

GOLDEN WIND

[FREE] Old School Kanye West type beat - "Choir"

💥 BBS 003 – Boom Bap Session
🎧 Disponible maintenant sur SoundCloud

Troisième volet de la série Boom Bap Session, BBS 003 continue de creuser dans les fondations solides du hip-hop : le boom bap, cette rythmique sèche, carrée, qui fait hocher la tête, toujours accompagnée de samples soul ou jazzy et de rimes aiguisées comme des lames.

Dans ce mix, je t’embarque pour un voyage transatlantique, entre les classiques cultes des années 90 et les héritiers d’aujourd’hui qui gardent le flambeau allumé. On y croise NTM et leur Come Again version 1996, une collaboration fantasmée entre 2Pac & Biggie sur un remix brut, l’élégance de Bahamadia, et l’énergie brute de Das EFX, Keith Murray ou encore RZA, Cappadona & Method Man sur l'iconique Wu Wear.

Mais le boom bap n’a jamais quitté le terrain : en 2024, Everliven Sound ou Amadeus 360 feat. M.O.P. & Ras Kass prouvent que le son est toujours vivant, nourri par la rue, les samples, la sueur et le style.

Côté FR, Ärsenik, Rocca, Shurik’n, Kery James, ou Hamed Daye livrent des textes denses, poétiques, parfois violents, toujours vrais. Un pan entier de notre mémoire rap.

C’est plus qu’un hommage : c’est un dialogue entre les époques, une preuve sonore que le boom bap est intemporel.

🔊 Presse play, ferme les yeux, et laisse les caisses claires te raconter l’histoire du hip-hop comme elle mérite d’être entendue.

NTM - come again (1996)
2Pac ft. Notorious Big - Be the realist (jbs explict) (1994)
Bahamadia - Uknowhowwedu (Album Version) (1996)
Everliven Sound - Bad News (feat. Magiver Knowledge) (2024)
Ill Bill - Gangsta Rep (2023)
Black Moon and Smif N Wesson - Black Smif N Wesson (Vocal Mix) (1995)
RZA ft. Method Man and Cappadona - Wu Wear (1996)
The Last Emperor - The Invinsible (2001)
House Of Pain - Legend (Radio) (1994)
Das EFX - Real Hip-Hop (Premiers LP Version) (1995)
Keith Murray - The most beautifullest thing in this world  (Blue Eyed remix) (1994)
Kev Brown ft. Kenn Starr And Quartermaine - Say Sumthin (2005)
Pete Rock feat. Krumbsnatcha - Beef (2004)
Amadeus 360 the Beat King - How the Block Sound (feat. M.O.P. & Ras Kass) (2023)
D & D Allstars - 1 2 Pass it (Remix) (1995)
Funkdoobiest - Wopbabalubop (Soul Assassins Remix) (1993)
Snowgoons - We Up (Feat. A-Mafia, Billy Danze, Aspects, God Bless & DJ Tray) (2022) 7L & Esoteric ft. Army Of The Pharaohs - This Is War (2004)
Ärsenik - une saison blanche et sèche (1998)
Kery James, Rocca, Shurik'n, Hamed Haye - animalement votre (1999)

Volume 3 of the Boom Bap Session series dives deep once again into the roots of hip-hop — where sharp snares, fat kicks, and soulful samples are the heartbeat of the culture.
This is for the head-nodders, the rhyme diggers, the MPC junkies, the ones who still believe that lyricism and groove can coexist.

This mix takes you on a transatlantic ride, connecting the golden era’s heavyweights with today’s torchbearers. From NTM’s Come Again, to a rare 90s remix of 2Pac & Biggie, to the smooth flows of Bahamadia, and the raw grit of Das EFX, Keith Murray, and the mighty Wu-Tang alumni with Wu Wear — it's a celebration of the boom bap sound.

But the session doesn’t stop in the past. In 2024, artists like Everliven Sound, Amadeus 360, M.O.P. and Ras Kass are still pushing that sound with fire and authenticity.

On the French side, legends like Ärsenik, Kery James, Rocca, Shurik’n, and Hamed Daye bring street wisdom, poetry, and truth over beats that still resonate through the blocks.

More than a tribute — this is a cross-generational conversation, proving once again that boom bap didn’t die — it evolved.

🔊 Hit play, let the snares crack, and listen to hip-hop’s soul talk to you.

RECORD LABEL
Demo: demo@soutamusik.com
Remix: remix@soutamusik.com

Souta. is more than a record label: it is passion, a feeling, a crew, a family.  

Souta. in Japanese means “sudden sound of the wind”, the label’s sound is forward-thinking House & Techno; thick, big & sudden, deep with a sprinkle of Afro and plenty of playfulness. The crew comes from several continents, backgrounds and talents. Some have been lead designers for top fashion houses, others running infamous hedonistic parties in New York, others are leading couch critics and nap aficionados. The goal is to bring all of these pieces together to do something serious. Seriously fun. 

Several members grew up living on a skateboard and playing in punk bands. This punk attitude is a cornerstone of Souta., to break the rules, think outside the box, do what feels good, and do things for yourself. Souta’s artists are not out to compete with Mozart’s symphonies; they are out to have fun making electronic music, and share this feeling with others. 

Not only a mental construct, the past two years have seen the label’s founder Chukku, building a studio complex on the tropical island of Bali, to be the label’s creative epicentre, complete with a BBQ working overtime and a touch of surfing on the side.

Welcome to Souta., the door is open and the fridge is full.
