Nas - It Was Written 25th Anniversary Mix Vol.1 (DJ Filthy Rich)

Celebrating 25 years of Fugees classic LP 'The Score' with a mix of rarities, remixes, blends + original samples.  One of the reasons I liked this album was the fusion of dancehall reggae & island culture, so I took it a step further and added Cutty Ranks, Mad Lion, Buju Banton, Bounty Killer, Born Jamericans & Kulcha Don to the mix. Vol.2 coming soon...

Fugees - The Score 25th Anniversary Mix Vol.1 (mixed by DJ Filthy Rich)

Celebrating 30 years of A Tribe Called Quest's 'Low End Theory'.  How do you follow up a 5-mic debut album??  With a 5-mic sophomore LP!  Everything about this album is a MASTERPIECE....from the abstract cover art, to the jazz-infused production emphasizing the LOW END, to the rhymes traded effortlessly between Q-Tip and Phife (R.I.P.).  Genius-level artistry.
This album represented a defining moment in hip hop, so I HAD to pay tribute with a mix incorporating the original samples, remixes, and blends.

Cypress Hill - Black Sunday 30th Anniversary Tribute (DJ Filthy Rich)

Mecca & The Soul Brother 30th Anniversary Tribute here:
https://soundcloud.com/user-133147562/pete-rock-cl-smooth-mecca-and-the-soul-brother-30th-anniversary-mix-dj-filthy-rich

Tribute mix celebrating Pete Rock & CL Smooth's masterpiece 'The Main Ingredient', which turned 30 recently.
'Mecca & The Soul Brother' is the more iconic/important album, but Main Ingredient slowly became my favorite over the years.....for a lot of the same reasons I lean to ATCQ's Midnight Marauders over Low End Theory.
Pete's production went from a harder/dusty sound on MATSB, to a warm/melodic vibe on TMI.  The samples Pete chose hit your soul in that sweet spot:  from Cannonball Adderley on 'In The House', to George Benson on 'I Get Physical' + 'In The Flesh', to Roy Ayers on 'Searching'....masterful.  Pair that with CL's smooth voice & flow, and your soul starts to vibrate....

This is not meant to be a compilation of her greatest hits....Instead, I've compiled some of my favorite hip hop tracks that sampled her music, while incorporating Aretha's original work, as well as my own custom blends, flips, & edits.

Hip Hop Tribute To Aretha Franklin

Hip Hop Tribute To Aretha Franklin (WhoSampled.com & DJ Filthy Rich)

25 Years ago today Raekwon dropped his game-changing 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx'.  I've had this date circled on my project calendar since January.....If I only recorded 2 tributes out of all the classics released in 1995, OB4CL & Mobb Deep's 'The Infamous' were the absolute Must-Do's.  Those masterpieces were like artistic cousins and quickly became the soundtrack to that summer.  To say this album was important is a HUGE understatement.  It was monumental, and arguably the apex of the Wu solo catalog.
This LP cemented Rae & Ghost as a dynamic duo as they formed their own clique-within-the-clique, effortlessly passing each other the baton over RZA's cinematic production.   Weaving intricate stories of street tales mixed with 5%-er knowledge, this project played out like a feature film.  Vividly spit in their coded slanguage, you felt like you were right there next to them on the island of Staten.  I tried to maintain the original feel of the LP, while adding some original samples + blends to switch things up a bit.
Since the album is more pka The Purple Tape, I'm dropping this tribute cassette-style with 2 separate sides. 

SIDE B coming soon.....
