Confidence – “ReCon” (90′s Classics Remixed)
via RefinedHype.com
Long before YouTube dance crazes, auto-tuned rappers and Twitter beef there was the ’90s, a time when emcees cared about their craft and hip-hop was at its dopest. It’s no surprise then that up-and-coming MA beathsmith Confidence chose to reach back to rap’s golden era for his debut mixtape, “ReCon”, an hour long project that resurrects 16 mid-’90s classics for your listening pleasure. And as if that wasn’t enough, DJ Grazzhoppa, the 1991 European DMC champ, cuts & mixes the tracks together, showcasing turntablism at its finest hour (celebrity DJs & Serato newbies need not apply).
“ReCon’ features some of the ’9′s most time-honored cuts, ranging from O.C.’s “Time’s Up”, Black Moon’s “How Many Emcees” and CNN’s “T.O.N.Y.” to some underground treasures circa Stretch & Bobbito, including Big L’s “American Dream” & Big Noyd’s “Recognize & Realize”. The only thing “ReCon’ is missing is a tape deck…don’t sleep!

Wu-Tang Clan – Mystagogue Vol. 2 (Rare Slap Magazine Mix)
This is one of those really rare finds that Wu fans can thank the internet for. Right here’s a Side A / Side B rip of the Mystagogue Vol. 2 cassette that came inside sealed issues of Slap skateboard magazine back in 1996. The cassette / Slap promo was only available at skate shops and was meant to act as a hype tool for the Wu skate team. The file hit about every blog a few years back but a big number of the links have gone dead. Here it is for everybody a 3rd time around. It’s those raw RZA beats you know & love mixed with some jazzy instrumentals and lots of great scratching. The intro is classic too.
