Funkmaster Flex - Radio 1FM 10th August 1996 (320kbs)

A rip from my tapes, recorded back in the day.  Thanks to Craig at RRR for having the time to piece it together for me, props.

It's a Funkmaster Flex Rap Exchange with Westwood at the 1FM Rap Show. There are endless 96 classics on here, and as it was the mid-90s, expect a few cuts from Compilations and Soundtracks [Notably America Is Dying Slowly, Sunset Park and Nutty Professor].

Listen out for iconic freestyles from Tribe and Wu-Tang [Ghostface, Cappadonna and U-God], Biggie and Doo Wop station IDs, as well as members of Tribe Called Quest rockin impressions of Tim Westwood [Safe]. The recording actually ends with what sounds like a short mix from DJ Cypress from the night before.
