Diggin In The Crates – Rare Studio Masters: 1993 – 1997

This has kept me going over the last three weeks or so. Double CD shizzle from super producer Buckwild with millions of golden era tracks and remixes that are pure vintage heat for the streets.Where to begin? There are dozens of blazing tracks on here that take you back to the days when Hip hop was an art form and really was the most exciting and inspirational music on the planet. Buckwild has a simple formula that was state of the art back in days and still can rock a jam from here to Japan – first the loop, normally heart achingly beautiful then after a few bars the baseline begins which is normally on some muffled EQ’d type business and then the drums – oh those drums. Neck snapping snares and tinny kicks but when Buckwild puts the three parts together you can feel the air around become thick with sensi and chocolate thai. Personal stand outs are Chubb Rock ‘What A Year’ remix ( I swear my eyes were red after listening to this), Grand Puba’s ‘I Like It’ (those drums) Artifacts ‘Come On Wid Da Come On’ (Even Busta sounds good) Big L’s MVP (RIP) and remix 1 of Nas’s ‘Life’s A Bitch’ which is awsome. So many Buttas I cannot begin to explain. Cop it like it’s hot. 9.7/10. For those that slept here’s one of my favourite Buckwild cuts not on the album. Don’t front.
