A fantastic look into mid 90s New York hip-hop. They don't make them like this anymore.

Imagine a mix tape created by the one and only DJ Premier gathering the best of New York's underground in 97: quality guaranteed.
~ This is for heads only, not for casual or commercial listeners ~

Also check out Stretch Armstrong "Lesson 1". He's more conservative in his mixing style, but he offers excellent freestyles. Thus "New York Reality Check 101", and "Lesson 1" are complementary.
