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
