DJ Sandman "Tape #120" (Mixtape, 1996)


Props to DJ E-Freezy for hittin' us off with some mix tapes from DJ Sandman. This is Tape #120 aka Mission Impossible, released around 1996. As I said before, the freestyles with Big L, Masta Ace, Method Man, RA the Rugged Man & others are what caught my attention, but I'd heard them before the mix tapes and never owned personal copies of the tapes. This particular tape kicks off with exclusive freestyles from Method Man, Q-Tip, Smoothe The Hustler & Trigger The Gambler, Channel Live, and then tracks from Nas, Heltah Skeltah, RZA, Cypress Hill & Fugees, Artifacts, De La Soul, Wu-Tang Clan, Snoop Dogg, Def Squad, Junior M.A.F.I.A., 2Pac, Nas, Mobb Deep, Akinyele, The Roots, Bahamadia, M.O.P., Skin Deep & Keith Murray, SWV, Ill Al Skratch, LL Cool J, and more!
