I wanted to take the opportunity on the last show of 2014 to celebrate Def Jam’s 30th anniversary, which came and went in 2014.
Def Jam is an absolutely seminal label in hip hop history, and if you’re not familiar with their catalog, it’s time to go research that shit. I’d meant to put together a really tight mix, but completely ran out of time. The mix ended up pretty sloppy. So much so that I considered not even sharing it here, but i’m trying to ease up on my perfectionist tendencies so it’s included below, warts and all.
Too late! File removed (mp3 – 54Mb)
If you want to hear some actual quality mixes celebrating this event, you should definitely check out the #defjam30 series of mixes that the label curated. Throughout the month of November, the label put out a different mix each day from a well known dj. I’m a fan of the Spinna one, but the Daddy Rich, Mister Cee, Premier mixes are all good. Ah, hell… just go listen to ’em all.
Just in case you did listen to the show though and are dying to know what a track was, the tracklist is after the jump.
