If memory serves me right, this was released in 2009... It was originally meant to be a mixtape that was passed out at Fat Beats, but it was the kinda quality that we felt the blogs would pick up, so it was later posted online and was one of several mixes DJ Dyllemma and I would work together on for my old website. Much respect to the blogs that covered it at the time. "Future Classics & Past Rarities" included overlooked cuts - mixed with some then-new tracks - from artists like Q-Tip, Illa J, Edo. G, Grap Luva, De La Soul, Frank-N-Dank, Blaq Poet, Pharoahe Monch, Gang Starr, Y Society, J88, Oddisee, Dave Ghetto, Prince Paul, J-Live, L.E.G.A.C.Y., Kev Brown & more. Revisit the vibe below.
