Gang Starr's 'Hard To Earn' 25th Anniversary Tribute mix by DJ Filthy Rich

Got the co-sign from Preemo too!



DJ Premier & Guru (R.I.P.), the duo more popularly known as Gang Starr, released their 4th album 'Hard To Earn' on March 8, 1994. Tired of being labeled as 'jazz-rap', Preemo decided to move away from sampling jazz records, and instead opted for a stripped down style of production. The result was a raw, harder hitting sound, and arguably their best album ever. 'Hard To Earn' is near & dear to me, so I had to get back in the lab and record this 25-year tribute to this legendary album. I've gathered their hits, album cuts & b-sides, and combined them with some original samples, interview soundbites, and my own custom blends. ARTWORK by Toon Crew IG: @tooncrew

DOWNLOADS:
For anyone looking to support their friendly neighbourhood DJ (I spent almost a week planning/brainstorming/recording/fine-tuning this mix), I'm selling CDQ downloads of this mix, with the tracks split up so you can skip/rewind. Audio quality is much higher (the stream was only encoded at 112 kbps), plus it comes with bonus tracks I never released to the public. If you're interested, just DM me, or email me at promoguy1 [at] gmail [dot] com
