Hard to believe, but it’s been over 30 years since The Chronic reshaped the sound and direction of hip-hop. West Coast G-Funk at its most refined, The Chronic was part sonic revolution, part cultural flashpoint. So when Toronto’s own DJ Filthy Rich dropped his 30th Anniversary Mix, the bar was high. Fortunately, Rich didn’t miss. What you get here isn’t just a greatest-hits run-through or a typical blend tape. Filthy Rich approaches this with the reverence and detail the project deserves—blending original Chronic tracks with rare demo versions, live freestyles, unreleased instrumentals, sample flips, and commentary snippets that provide context for what made Dre’s debut solo project so iconic. In true Filthy Rich fashion, the transitions are clean, the track selection is razor-sharp, and the mix feels less like a nostalgia trip and more like a museum exhibit—curated by someone who knows the culture and respects the art of the mix. If you were around when The Chronic dropped in ‘92, this’ll take you right back to that feeling of hearing it roll out of car trunks and tape decks everywhere. If you weren’t... this is as solid a crash course as you’ll find.
