DJ Three "No Labels Allowed" (Mixtape, 1996)


Another fine Tape Kingz release from 1996, No Labels Allowed, by DJ Three. This mix tape represented the underground, during the do-it-yourself, independent era of 12" vinyl releases. It's got slept-on gems from East Flatbush Project, Pop Da Brown Hornet, Natural Elements, Percee P, Jigmastas, Saukrates, J-Live, Camouflage Large, Finsta Bundy, Big Kwam, Paula Perry, Sic Sense, AK Skills, Al' Tariq, Mr. D Original, The Juggaknots, Arsonists and more. A really dope time in hip-hop -- especially in New York City. I cop'd most of these 12" records at Fat Beats, and still give a bunch of them burn from time to time. The audio was already posted via ExtraLovely. Listen to the mix below...
