Classic Mixes: Dj Babu / Kankick “Comprehension” Cassette Tape (1999)

Hip-Hop

I heard about this classic mixtape through Kutmah who named it as one of his favorite mixes of all-time. So I decided to dig it out and found a copy floating out there. The mixtape is from the late 90’s and was distributed through Fat Beats. It featured Babu of the World Famous Beat Junkies and Kankick, legendary but under appreciated producer from the West Coast who I heard about only a few years ago from my good homie Onra.

This is serious stuff right here. I don’t mean to sound too nostalgic but it’s always awesome to go back to mixes that are pre-2000’s, you know there’s no Serato auto-beat matching involved. Just pure DJ skills without any training wheels.
