Alright ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got a busy one today so try to keep up. Let’s start it off with a few big birthday shout outs. Afrika Bambaattaa turns 61 today. Bambaattaa was one of the best DJs to ever do it, bringing a dope electronic vibe to the genre. He brought us classics like “Planet Rock” and was a major influence in the creation of the Zulu Nation. Zulu’s have brought us more dope tracks than I can count. Today is also Redman’s birthday, as he turns 48. Redman is as 90’s as it gets. Known best for his work with Method Man, Redman brought raw skills to the mic and has countless quotable punchlines.
In non-birthday news, A Tribe Called Quest released their debut album on this date in 1990. People’s Instinctive Travels and Paths Of Rhythm introduced the world to the group from Queens. I’ve already told y’all about my love affair with Tribe and their music. This album brought us classics such as “Push It Along”, “Bonita Applebum”, and “Can I Kick It?”. The album is certified gold and widely recognized as one of the best of all time. Tribe brought a completely new lyrical style to laid back production and pushed the genre forward in a major way. If you haven’t listened to it yet, you’re buggin’. Definitely check it out ASAP.
As far as the playlist goes, we’re going to start to do it a little differently. We will be updating the playlist weekly from now and it will include all the music necessary for the upcoming week. So be patient, I promise I’ll be sending plenty of dope music your way real soon.
