EP#33 Tools of da Trade (2000 Mixtape)

Another throwback from the Truck Jewls archives, this was the 2nd Mix CD after making the transition from tapes. After having no luck trying to digitize my master and eventually buying a used copy off Discogs it turns out the blank CD’s during this batch were faulty and didn’t stand the test of time so if you have this one it probably won’t read in any CD player on the planet…trust me… I tried and couldn’t do it so I re-made the mix from scratch…dug through the crates to find all the records again...couldn’t leave anything missing from the digital mixtape set coming this year, so here’s a taste of some 2000 flavor mixed in 2020 featuring the finest in underground hip hop music from the likes of Camu Tao (RIP), Jedi Mind Tricks, J Dilla, Grand Agent, Kool G Rap, Grand Puba, Sean Price, Beatnuts, Common, Sadat X, Large Professor, El The Sensei, early Joel Ortiz (aka Jo Ell Quickman) & then some.01 – Camu Tao – You Hear Me Talking To You02 – Grand Agent Ft.
