There is a sweet spot in hip hop culture where old school jams transitioned from banging beats to a jazz centered, almost enlightened focus. Think Tribe, Brand Nubian, Das EFX and more.
This is a playlist that mixes those vibes along with some classics from Run DMC, Eric B & Rakim, EPMD and more.
My favorite find in this playlist was the Queen Latifah song featuring De La Soul, Mama Gave Birth to the Soul Children!
