Kid Capri on Hot 97 (1996)



As I just re-upped this Kid Capri tape from 1989 I though I'd also share this set from Hot 97's Mixmasters Weekend back in 1996. I think I originally got it from DJ Soul's blog years ago but if you missed it first time around then here you go...

The video is worth a watch too, especially for the slightly awkward moment (about 9 mins in) when Kid recalls Cipha Sounds taking a shot at him back when he was Flex's weed carrier.

Top Rawmen - My Side's Better...Naw Mine Is!" (1999)

Have to admit that I didn't recognise the name Top Rawmen when I was given this tape but it's  definitely worth checking. DJs Mike C and Nando take a side each. Nando goes in with some early/mid 90s favourites whilst Mike C drops some of the newer releases of the day (Quiet Storm, Nas Is Like) into some blends. As the cover says, the duo were DMC and ITF finalists so there's a couple of routines where they show off their skills but not so much that it messes up the flow of the tape. Enjoy...
