1st & 15th Mixcast Vol 37 – Emynd – Best of Hiero by Crossfadedbacon on Mixcloud

The other day, I was on a quick road trip listening to Extra Prolific’s now classic “Like It Should Be” and it dawned on me that I needed to put together a collection of my favorite Hiero songs. And… so I did. 27 of my favorite Hiero joints, all of which come before the year 2000. This isn’t because Hiero stopped putting out good music after 2000. Frankly, I have no idea if they did or didn’t because I haven’t been paying attention… but these joints all bang and this mix is a fun trip down memory lane with a lot of great rap that has aged extremely well. I’d like to think this is a good introduction to the Hieroglyphics crew for those who aren’t familiar with their work, but also a fun listen to those of us who grew up listening to them. Anyway, I hope y’all enjoy it!

Stream it above or download it below and don’t forget you can stream the rest of the 1st & 15th mixes here (or download them all individually here). As always, thanks so much for listening!

Sad day. As my man THE SHOW aka The Class Prez said on twitter:

RIP Nate Dogg!! There would be no T-Pain, Akon, or whoever else making a living off just singing hooks without his trail blazing talent!!

The really remarkable thing about Nate Dogg to me was not only how vital he sounded on every single song he was in, but how universally accepted he was. I was surrounded by a lot of true school boom bap nerdery growing up and we all had pretty vocal and varying opinions on rap music. There were a few things however that we all agreed on and somehow or other, the fact that Nate Dogg was amazing was one of these things. His vocals have also aged really well. They don’t sound dated to me… they sound timeless. If you just take a quick glance at hip-hop, it might be easy to accuse Nate Dogg of being a cursory footnote, but anybody who knows anything about rap music knows just how important this dude is, was, and hopefully always will be. RIP Nate Dogg.

Enjoy Steve1der’s best of Nate Dogg mix above. It’s a truly great mix done with a great deal of respect for the man.

Wassup? My man Trey Peezy hit me up asking me to get the word out about this single called “Something About”. The song is hot so I obliged, the group is called Black Cotton and this is some nice smooth shit to put on early in the night to get the ladies warmed up.

I dunno if most of the folks that come to this site know this about me, but I’m first and foremost a huge rap dork. I grew up listening to rap music for my entire life and spent a good portion of my high school years totally nerding out and trading tapes of hard-to-find West Coast Underground rap with folks all across the globe. I posted a bunch of rare Project Blowed stuff over at CBRAP HERE and HERE and if you’re at all into adventerous rap music, I highly suggest you swing by and check that shit out.
