Souls of Mischief - 93 Til Infinity [1993]
90s hip-hop
v2

This album got me thinking... what if hip-hop had stayed in the 90s for 10 years while the rest of us went into the 00s, and then emerged again this year and dumped all of its awesome new content on us... My goodness that would be amazing.

90s hip-hop to infinity!
