Doo Wop, baby


In a way, I'm breaking one of the few rules I made for this blog...'don't post mixes that are for sale'. Below is Doo Wop's follow up to his classic 95 live classic mixtape- 95 Live part 2. I'm posting the first 15 tracks/27 minutes to give you a taste (although, this was a popular mix and heard by many) in hopes you will check his myspace page and pay for the re-mastered full length version.

95 was a great year in hip hop music. On the first half of the mix,Doo Wop plays A&R/host for a slew of NY's/Jersey's MC's that helped define the "golden era" sound. At the time, these were "freestyles", but we all know that most of the verses on this mix turned into classic hits that are heard on the daily. Artists include, KRS One, AZ, Mobb Deep, Redman, Boot Camp and mucho mas.

You may have heard or seen Doo Wop lately. 2 notable stories--he's the tour DJ for Guru, and his response to weezy's mixtape DJ diss.
