Just Blaze "90's Flava, Volume 1" (Mixtape, 2008)


Last year we celebrated Just Blaze's born day with a quick playlist with some of my favorite jawns in his extensive, impressive catalog! This year I'd planned to share the NYE 2022 playlist that he created for his set with Apple Music, but it seems Apple doesn't embed properly here, so click HERE for that - lots of classic records and party anthems with a genre-bending twist only Just Blaze could deliver. So, moving onward, here's a mixtape he did in 2008 called "90's Flava, Volume 1." It features a mix of some of Just Blaze's personal favorite selections from the 90s, including Main Source, A Tribe Called Quest, Das EFX, De La Soul, New Edition, Brand Nubian, Positive K, Grand Daddy I.U., Intelligent Hoodlum, Marley Marl, LL Cool J, Mobb Deep, Big L, Jeru The Damaja, Artifacts, Jamal, Illegal, O.G.C., Black Moon, Busta Rhymes, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Miilkbone, Too Short, D'Angelo, Xzibit, Natural Elements, AZ, Nas, and lots more. You can expect he'll talk a bit too much over the transitions, but it's a nice mix of tracks ranging from underground hip-hop, classic hip-hop and R&B. Happy Born Day to one of the G.O.A.T.s, Just Blaze! Listen to 90's Flava mix below...
