DJ DS - Goes Back to School (4th Year: 1989) (320kbs)

 

It's been a while due to a broken needle but, as put by MC Lyte, this time I'm doing my thing with an '89 swing!  That's right, it's time to go ‘Back to School’ and to my 4th year, 1989!
 
As ever, narrowing this down was so tricky & this is the longest track list yet. With more time to plan it (due to the turntable trouble) there are more samples and I've hired my youngest daughter as my art director!!
 
By now, you know what to expect, plenty of doubles, blends and all that good stuff. I also love trying to link the tracks in other ways, through some word play, etc.
 
Thanks to everyone that recorded a drop for me, including both of my daughters, DJ Jimmy Green, DJ Repo & the legendary Percee P! Thanks guys!
 
RIP MF DOOM & Stezo who both feature on the mix.
 
Hope you enjoy!

DJ DS - Goes Back to School (3rd Year: 1988) (320kbs)

As once said by Big Daddy Kane, "its 88, time to set it straight" and "ain’t no half-steppin" as DJ DS goes ‘Back to School’!  “Word…… I’m ready”!

As previously mentioned, I was at high school from 1986 - 1991, therefore my 3rd year started in 1988.  What a year too…. This has always been my favorite year for Hip Hop. My biggest challenge was deciding what to leave out! This could have gone on for about a month and I still couldn’t have got all the classics in!

If you’ve heard any of my mixes you know what to expect, plenty of doubles, blends and all that good stuff.  I’ve also popped some sound bites from movies released during the same year too!

Also a huge thanks to everyone that recorded a drop for me, including one of my daughters, DJ Jimmy Green and DJ Reepz.  One of my favorite MCs, Percee P, yep, that’s right, the Rhyme Inspector Percee P from the Bronx also recorded one for me as well.  Thanks guys…. Appreciate the love!!  Download link at the bottom of the post

DJ DS - Goes Back To School (1st Year: 1986) (320kbs)

DJ DS - "It’s September again and that only means one thing…….. DJ DS Goes Back to School!

I was in high school during Hip Hop's 'Golden Years' (1986 – 1991) and I thought what better way to start the school year off with a series of mixes based around the years I went to school. Hip Hop was going through a transitional stage where new artists like Rakim, Kool G Rap and KRS-ONE were changing how MCs would sound forever.

If you’ve heard any of my mixes you know what to expect, plenty of doubles, blends and all that good stuff. I’ve also popped some of my favourite sound bites from movies released during the same year including Thrashin’ (skate movie - personal favourite), Stand by Me, Big Trouble in Little China and many more!!

Also a huge thanks to Jimmy Green for the drop! Hope you all enjoy and if so, get ready for 1987 and my second year at school!!"
