Philly Retrospective Volume 5

Here's philly retrospective volume 5 today. This mix is actually not strictly Philadelphia. Choked Out is from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As is generally the case, some of the material on this compilation is extremely hard to find! In particular, the John Doe track is from a single which almost doesn't exist. I'd kill to have the b-side.

philly retrospective volumes 2 and 3

As promised, here are the next couple installments in my Philadelphia compilations series. Both of these have some pretty rare material on them. The track by F-Mob on volume 2 was something i heard on a radio show in Olympia, Washington back in 1993. Their album 'Once In A Blue Moon' was mostly instrumental/acid jazz. 'Pump Pump' was one of the only hip hop tracks on the album. It also came out as a 12" single, for good reason. The track is a burner. Check the beat!

I saw vol 3 here posted on a spanish language hip hop blog awhile back, so I guess it's gotten around a bit. Anyway, I hope y'all like the selections here. I put these 2 compilations together back in 2007. There are at least 20 more coming which feature all kinds of underground Philadelphia artists so stay with us while we bring you the flava.
