Vous l’avez compris, cette semaine ça va faire mal. L’exellent Cocaine Blunts propose ce Mix ANTHOLOGIQUE qui ravira les connaisseurs comme les nouveaux venus, offrant le meilleur d’une époque – les années 1990 – et d’une scène, la Californie et son backpacking jazzy et destructuré. Bref ça tire de partout avec son lot de classiques (Aceyalone, Freestyle Fellowship, Hiero, Blackalicious…) et ses petits bonheurs indé (E-Rule, Bored Stiff, Saafir, A-Rude et du Living Legends). Manque Homeliss Derelix est on serait bon pour le must-have retro de 2009.
