Nick Bondz "Uplifting Selections #7" (Mixtape, 1996)


Dancehall blend tapes with hip-hop beats might not be the craze today, but back in the mid-90s, these tapes were in high-demand! Anyone remember the Tape Kingz catalogs? If you were ordering your mix tapes, there's a solid chance you gambled and picked up a copy of a Nick Bondz tape, and were hooked. He put in some quality blends, and dancehall/reggae selections on ALL of his mix tapes, of which there were over a dozen. This here is Uplifting Selections #7 from 1996. It features blends from Cutty Ranks, Beenie Man, Capleton, Mega Banton, Jigsy King, Buju Banton, General Degree, Spragga Benz, Lady Saw, Burro Banton, Junior Reid, the Fugees, Beenie Man, and more. If this tape sounds like it's for you, it is! Dig in, and hit the tags below for more dancehall content...
