Zita & Dmadness GOLDEN MIXES VOL. 2 Hip Hop Heroes |
| What is a hero? Zita & Dmadness answer that with a heavy crate of not just classics...but a vinyl fossil record of hip hop's most transcendent moments: witness as Pharoahe Monch narrates the flight of a stray bullet in first person; Mos Def places a stethescope to the sternum of the city; an up north inmate reads a letter from his main man Nasty Nas. With fierce Cali femcee AIMA escorting, Z&D mix, cut and blend to life the era when MCs dedicated entire songs to their DJs...when a hip hop artist could actually be somebody's hero. But at the end of the day, as dead.prez assert, "It's bigger than hip hop"..and as Andre reminds, "Heroes eventually die." Slap Vol.2 in the boombox and bob your head as you make a list of your own heroes - hip hop or not. -by Dmadness |
