Crime In Stereo is dead
Read more: Crime In Stereo is deadHave I ever told you how good this record is? I have these records since they came out but never wrote about them on this blog before.

I don’t know or recall how I discovered Zoxea in 1999 but I still remember their music. Their music still floats through my mind now and then. YouTube was not doing enough for me…

Shurik’n où je vis
Read more: Shurik’n où je visStraight from 1998 comes this cassette by the French Hip Hop artist Shurik’n. As some might acknowledge, 1998 was a good year for music. Wether it be youthful sentiment or not… We had lots of Hip Hop coming from Marseille, the city in the Southern part of France. I rarely listen to Hip Hop anymore,…
