Diggin’ In The Crates: “Breakadawn” by De La Soul

As always, another classic Hip Hop song from the group “De La Soul”; this is off of their 93 album “Buhloone Mindstate”. The group has “Posdnuos” and “Dave” rhyming over the beats, with “Maseo” making the beats. This song was considered a departure from De La Souls usual sound, which was generally classified as sounding “hippy”. It also used sampling, something not as apparent in the groups previous outings.

Diggin’ In The Crates: “Who Got The Props” by Black Moon

A classic Hip Hop track by “Black Moon”. It was released in 1993, off of their debut album “Enta da Stage”. The album is considered a “classic”, however it didn’t sell as well as expected due to being released around the time of other classic albums such as “Illmatic” and “Ready To Die”, with a slew of other big contenders.

Diggin’ In The Crates: “Return Of The Crooklyn Dodgers” by Crooklyn Dodgers ‘95

This is a lesser-known Hip Hop classic, mainly because the group it spawned from was one that was mostly employed to create a song for Spike Lees 1995 film: “Clockers”. There are actually three Crooklyn Dodgers groups, all having created one track each; this is the second group. This incarnation consisted of: “Chubb Rock”, “O.C.” and “Jeru The Damaja”, with the beat being produced by DJ Premier.

Diggin’ In The Crates: “93 ’til Infinity” by Souls Of Mischief

“93 ’til Infinity” is the single by Oakland group “Souls Of Mischief”, off of the album of the same name. This song became a hit amongst Hip Hop fans in the 90’s, however despite it’s success the album only had moderate sales and failed to garner as much praise as it deserved. The group was noted for their production and unique rhyme styles; making their debut album shine during the early nineties.
