The Rub

Next up we have The Rub covering the History of Hip Hop. This extensive mix takes it back to 1979 and brings it all the way to 1999.  Hands down the best hip hop compilation i’ve ever come across and a must have for any fan of hip hop. I would say my favorite years have to be 1992 & 1993 which you will find streaming below. For the complete listing of the History of Hip Hop mixes as well as the full tracklistings visit The Rub. Also, visit Brooklyn Radio for their weekly radio show as well as other great shows.  Special thanks goes out to Cosmo Baker for helping hook this up.
