THE KINGS OF THEME

From the Bay to Berlin! Congratulations to Souls Of Mischief for selling out their show at Lido in Berlin, Germany last night. This is a testament to their enduring popularity and influence in the hip-hop community. If you get a chance to see them on their world tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of '93 Til Infinity you should definitely go. Souls of Mischief is a hip-hop group from Oakland, California, that formed in 1991 that is also part of the hip hop collective Hieroglyphics. They are known for their socially conscious lyrics and jazzy, sample-heavy beats.

This is just a starting point for those getting into rap music or for younger fans that wants to enjoy the older classic albums. It is not the “be all list,” it’s just a list compiled by 22 people (my friends and music lovers). There are so many albums that we split the rap lists into A and B. In my opinion list A are must haves and list B are albums you should get after you have all the ones on list A. The list below is compiled so far by David P., Nicole A., Jeff H., DJ Pone, Chase, Jimmy Taco, Eric. R., Skinny Fresh, Nick, DoodlebugV2, Bps, T-Rock, Maurice J., Spence Dookey, Mike Nice, Mike P., Gert, Pej, Vincent V., Corey N., DJ Toast, M. Bull.

Thank you New York. As always it was a pleasure to see old friends and meet new people. Happy birthday to Shanda, the pre party sushi dinner was very nice. Cheers to BB Kings, Franco, John and their entire staff. Thank you to Marco for DJing the event with me. It’s great when another dj is a true fan and that you both think the same way musically. Most importantly thank you to all the Prince and Michael Jackson fans on the East Coast. Chicago, get ready – it’s your turn this Saturday.
