Flea Tape IV: Jam Session Jams

The fourth Flea tape He has just left, and it is another work carefully elaborated with love by our founder, Flea Mark. This time, it is a nostalgic trip to the golden era basketball and the hip-hop: A mixtape with themes extracted directly from NBA Highlights VHS classics NBA Jam Session and NBA Superstarstogether with iconic basketball songs of the 90s as White Men Can’t Jump.

Musically, capture a moment of transition in black music: when rap gained ground quickly, but still shared space with the soft grooves of the New Jack Swing and the pulse of House. Side one starts with what could be the best verse on basketball of all time, courtesy of Biggie Smalls, and continues with themes of fundamental figures such as Gang Starr and Eric B. & Rakim. Side two changes the rhythm, uploading the BPM with themes for the dance floor of Boyz II Men, Rozalla and Technotronic.

It is essential for those who love basketball, the black music of the 90s, or that cultural crossing where both things lived, shone and created magic.
