welcome to the church of what's happening now...

i'm getting a bit link-happy these days, why not i figure... anyway. this mix is from the end of january, when i did a set for trinity fm. it's all hip-hop, i figured i'd kick it off with nas' hip-hop is dead, then play some gems, old and new, which suggest he's kinda wrong. the levels are improved, but not perfect... and some tracks are a wee bit sped up. but not beyond recognition.
