Big Dawg Volume Two is highlighted (for me at least) by I'll Be Around by Rah Sun & Big Pun. DJ Ev didn't put out a ton of tapes and admittedly I don't know a lot about him. His best known tape is Hotter This Year 96.

DJ Camilo - Tape 12 Elements Of Style
I apologize for slowing up a bit with the posts. Life has been hectic while gearing up for the holidays. DJ Camilo is another one of my favorite DJ's and Tape 12 is packed with 1995 Hip Hop gold. Tracks like I Love You Remix, Death Be The Penalty & Danger are a few of the many classics that fill this tracklist.

Update
Here is my own rip of Cutmaster C's It's So Hot Baby. I think it's clearer than what's been floating around. In the upcoming weeks I will be going through my box of tapes and ripping them. The goal is to try and provide better quality rips for existing tapes and I may post some things that have never been ripped in the past. Stay tuned.

Cutmaster C - It's So Hot Baby
This one features an early unmixed version of Biggie's My Downfall. I don't think the cover has been widely shared so I took a picture of my tape in case anyone needed the cover. Over the next few days I will try to provide a better rip of this tape for you guys.

5 Deadly Venoms Of Brooklyn
This shit right here is one of the craziest mixtapes ever. You had 5 top notch DJ's join forces to create this masterpiece. You get everything on here. Hip Hop, Freestyles & R&B mixed masterfully by some of the best in the game.
-MJ-
DJ Clue - Spring Tyme Stick Up (1995)
One of the more common tapes you'll see me post but this one holds a special place in my heart. I bought mixtapes prior to this but this was the one the got me hooked. I can't even estimate the amount of times I have listened to this tape. Pure Golden Age New York hip hop at it's finest.

JabaOne - Love In The Mixtape
A visitor to the blog emailed me and asked if I would consider posting his tape. I initially responded with let me listen and if I'm feeling it I'll post it. Then I thought about it and said fuck it I will post it without listening first. Y'all have shown us a lot of love and this is a way I can show love back. Honestly I don't know who the fuck Kevin Ross is but give it a download and a listen. Put It On loves y'all back.

Black Rob - Robert Ross 1968-2021 (Compilation) (7CD)
https://mega.nz/folder/jDQxACAT#gv8Br6r2_yuigKrEt-_5Ww
as a tie-in to MJ's earlier post. This is a compilation I made in '21 soon after Black Rob passed. (7CD) (180 Tracks) This is most everything he recorded besides Album material. This comp includes features, B-Sides, mixtape exclusives, alternate versions & freestyles. Everything is tagged.
Gone Too Soon!!!
DJ Kay Slay - The Return Of Black Rob
Black Rob should've had a larger career than he had. He suffered through addiction, health issues and homelessness. Unfortunately the hip hop community lost Black Rob on April 17 2021.
-MJ-
Fabolous - Loso's Way: Rise To Power (2006) (2CD) (FLAC)
If you don't have this here it is, if you do here's a lossless copy.
This is probably one of Fabo's best mixtapes. It dropped when he was on his most succesful run. Clue was pushing him heavy. The usual cast of characters are all featured: Paul Cain, Ransom, Stack Bundles, Budden(s) plus other household names like Mariah Carey, Young Jeezy, Paul Wall, Busta Rhymes & The LOX. You even get a Ma$e diss included.

Mister Cee - Hip Hop According To Cee Lesson One (Cassette) (192)
https://mega.nz/folder/3bh3hAhD#a1KShcG8klx3Qb4LtZ5wlA
Okay, so here's another great one by Mister Cee.
Not many DJ's have the longevity that Calvin LeBrun did. He also had the respect of other DJ's from Flex, Kay Slay, Clue, you name it, for the work (pause) he continued to put in throughout his long highly regarded career. As far as a DJ goes he's been the DJ for an artist, the radio, shows, clubs & tons of mixtapes. He set the bar.
R.I.P. Mister Cee

Mister Cee - Blazing R&B 808
The Brooklyn Finisher Mister Cee provided some the best tapes of era. His legacy is highlighted by The Best Of Biggie tape but he provided us with so much more. He was Big Daddy Kane's deejay after they met early in their careers. The man was a legend. R.I.P. Mister Cee ....and you don't stop.

DJ Doggtime - Just The Way You Like It
Did anyone do blend tapes better than Eric Brown aka DJ Doggtime? For me it's Doggtime and Mista Rello & Jadel. This is packed with R7B flavor the way only Doggtime could serve it up.

DJ Action Pac & DJ Fashion - Puffin On A Blunt, Sippin On A Heineken Part 2
This is the sequel to yesterday's post. I did not have the opportunity to purchase the cassette when it was released so I am thrilled to have the file. This a great tape though not as good as the first in my opinion.

DJ Action Pac & DJ Fashion - Puffin On A Blunt, Sippin On A Heineken
In error I posted the incorrect version of this tape. Here is my exclusive personal rip. One of the best blend tapes you will find.

Dirty Harry - Tape #2 - Linden Style (1994) (2016 Reissue) (160)
1994 was a golden year for Hip-Hop & some great tapes dropped!
This is one of them.
Representing Queens!! At this time he was still going by "Mike Harry".
Check for the mix of Naughty By Nature with Jeru The Damaja & Michael Jackson. 🙌
(The back cover lists 2 extra songs both are on here but were mixed with another track.)

G-Unit - Violent Night (8CD) (2007) (320)
.png)
While most of you already have this if you don't here it is. Most all of this is minus Whoo Kid but there a few exceptions. The story goes is that this got sent out to radio stations in '07 to promote the G-Unit album "Shoot To Kill" that would later be renamed the much friendlier "Terminate On Sight" or T.O.S. If you were one of the lucky few to recieve this, enclosed was a greeting card wishing you a Happy Holiday from the G-Unit family signed by all!
(On a side note. Miami Kaos has done so many unbelievable mixtape covers (& some that weren't) over the years. If anybody is in touch. Tell him he deserves a coffee table book with whatever art he can access or maybe even covers that didn't make it.)

Dirty Harry - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Special request for my guy Robert. I've said more than enough about Dirty Harry in previous posts so click the link and download this joint.

Dirty Harry - From Dusk Til Dawn Part 3
This is another one that I do not have a cover for. I can't remember where I acquired this nor can I confirm the title is correct. I vividly remember parts 1 & 2 but cannot recall a part 3. The file says the year 2000. There are some unreleased Dirty Harry tapes floating around but I am not sure if this is one of them. If you have more info on it drop a line.
-MJ-
DJ Chubby Chub - Da Heat Iz On
I will upload a cover for this later when I dig my cassette out. Chubby Chub tapes were a must cop for me. He didn't drop as frequently as other DJ's but when he did you were getting a great tape. Da Heat Iz On was one of my favorite at the time. Side A was predominately hip hop and Side B contained R&B. Give it a download and let us know you think.

Dirty Harry - A Fist Full Of Dollars
If you're new to the game I urge you to explore the discography of Dirty Harry. He was one of, if not the most creative mixtape DJ out there. Little known fact he was also an award winning producer. Dirty Harry has never put a bad tape out in my opinion.

DJ Doggtime - Doin' My Thing
One of the most underrated mixtape DJ's there is. I'd put his body of work up against damn near anybody.
