Peace world! It’s your boy Wil Infamous here with the last episode of 2014! For this last episode I thought I’d pay homage to one of the greatest years (IMHO) in Hip Hop history, 1994! A plethora of gems were dropped in the year ’94 so I had to supersize this playlist and pack as many jewels as I can in 80 mins. So we got 20 tracks of hot Golden Era fire from start to finish. Much like my Best of ’93 playlist from last year it was damn nearly impossible to fit everyone in. Albums like Pete Rock & CL Smooth’s “The Main Ingredient”, The Gravediggaz “6 Feet Deep”, Dred Scott “Breakin Combs”, Organized Konfusion “Stress: The Extinction Agenda” and others didn’t make the cut but I did try to show some love in the episode’s cover art.

Since this episode is 80 mins long it’ll be the only playlist posted on the podbean site this month (due to space). But don’t fret my Underground/ Indie Hip Hop junkies, I got a Episode 69 (Part 2) playlist available for stream/ download up on the Nitty Gritty Radio Soundcloud page. It got bangers from Your Old Droog, Prhyme, Run The Jewels, Termanology and many more artist that made 2014 one of the best years for true Hip Hop since these ’94 gems dropped.

Here’s the link to the soundcloud page for Episode 69 (Part 2) : https://soundcloud.com/nitty-gritty-radio/episode-69-part-2

Peace party people! Nitty Gritty Radio here back with another playlist of bonafide bangers! Believe it or not the whole feel of this playlist was sparked by my 16 month old son’s sneakers. My wife got him dressed the other day when I was watching Sunday football and he comes around the corner wearing these crispy white low top Chuck Taylor Converse and the first thing I heard in my head was Ice Cube from “Really Doe” saying “steppin up in my motherfuckin uhh…Chuck Taylors, Knick kickers, Wallabee's…” and the rest is history. This is one of the few playlist that I’ve put together for this podcast that is a complete freestyle. I just let the Hip Hop flow from “Really Doe” and this is what came from it, Episode 66 (Part 1).

Nod your head and feel the vibe.
