Released in 1999, this is another mixtape from DJ Juice entitled Superman Lover (aka Volume #42). I was heavily (re)inspired by the leaks from the Nas "I Am..." album the were clearly the driving force behind this mixtape, too. I've talked about coppin' the white labels at Rock & Soul in Manhattan, some of those same tracks were "exclusives" on this tape, like "Blaze a 50," "We Will Survive," "Fetus" and others. There's also tracks from DMX, Jay-Z, Ja Rule, Sporty Thievz, Nature, Mobb Deep, Madd Rapper, Akinyele and more. Not one of the best tapes from DJ Juice's catalog, but it takes me back to that time and... yeah, those records (and other Nas leaks) certainly got me back into music when I'd felt like college and real world shit was making me care less and less. I was reminded that we've always had to dig to find dope shit in the underground. Just as true today as it was then. Dig in...
