NEW MIX... DJ DANJ!! presents #TBT 1992.

[Newark88]

92 was one of my favorite years ever. Being a young teenage kid, I was a nerd at heart (getting A's and B's in high school) but still ripping and running the streets. Riding shotgun in my man's all black AC Legend, hitting up spots like the rink in Berginfield NJ, Club 2000, Homebase, Greekfest, etc and mind you I was only 15 at the time. I was on my young/fly sh*t, sporting Polo, Hilfiger, Nautica, Brooks Brothers. Even copped my first Coogi sweater in 92. Although I was in the streets, stilled stayed socially conscious. Would always be at the Masjd on South Orange ave, play Malcolm X, Imam Warith Deen Mohammed, and Farrakhan speeches in my walkman. I remember when the Malcolm X movie dropped that fall, my whole entire family went to see it opening day. Black TV shows were in full swing like Martin, Def Comedy Jam, Different World, Roc. Music was on fire. Go downtown and copped the latest Ron G and S&S tapes. Everyday after school, would try to catch Video Music Box . Tape Red Alert, Kid Capri, Stretch and Bobbito shows off the radio. Summer time, all I was bumping was Mecca and the Soul Brother and Daily Operation. Fall it was Redman's Whut Thee Album, EPMD, Marys What's The 411. The singles that dropped that year were crazy too. Thank you @DANJ! for that flashback!

'92 was a big year for me... I started rhyming after I saw Kris Kross, Da Youngstas, & Chi-Ali... figured if some kids my age could be rappers, so could I. Then I saw Juice and wanted to be a DJ, and stuck to it for years until I finally gotmy set in Xmas '94. Also I started reading the Source earlier that year cause my brother had bought one from the store... I ended up borrowing it from him and couldn't stop readin it. Used to tape Rap City every day, watchin' the Box. Def. remember the Malcolm X movie- went to see it w/ my moms for my birthday. Watched those same shows, taped lots of mixes off the radio... and then got intro'd to the NY mixtape culture when my uncle gave me a Doo-Wop tape that some NY dude he knew had left in his car- it was the New Year's one where they go at Kid Capri.

Huge year for hip-hop and furthermore my own interest in the music.

Preciate it! Especially for lettin' the co-workers hear it...

And what's STILL crazy is, there's STILL a lotta good shyt from '92 that ain't on there. That year was constant heat. I had a new favorite song every week and a half.
