In celebration of Hip Hop's 50th year, we've teamed up with London based ‘Classic Material’ to present a chronologically themed series of mixtapes celebrating the history of recorded rap music, mixed by Chris Read. Edition #6 in this year by year series pays tribute to the Hip Hop of 1992, a year most notable for shifts in production techniques and styles and, perhaps more importantly, sampling trends. Abandoning over-saturated funk standards in favour of obscure jazz samples, producers such Showbiz, Diamond D, Q-Tip and many others besides laid the foundations for the laid back jazz led sound that characterised countless East Coast classics of the early to mid 90s. On the West Coast, Dr Dre’s seminal Chronic LP also broke new ground in terms of production style with a polished, classicly LA sonic template that formed the blueprint for the G Funk sound which ruled supreme throughout the early 90s. Artwork pays tribute to iconic logo of Nervous Records Hip Hop sub-label 'Wreck Records'.
