Kurtis Blow, T La Rock, Mantronix, and Stetsasonic are represented and there’s an ill segment where Jay cuts up Cash Money’s scratches on “Ugly People Be Quiet.”

After Jay’s set, for some reason there are a couple of Arrested Development tracks and then a brief set from Colby Colb‘s “Radioactive” show on Power 99 (there are a few of cool drops by LL, Tupac, and Run-DMC worth checking). Colby Colb’s set features a random kiddie group (a la Kriss Kross and Da Youngsta’s) named The Chronic (sp?) with a really mediocre track called “Sometimes It Be’s Like That.”

This is side B of the DJ Ran mix that I posted yesterday.

This mix is from the July 1, 1993 show Ran did with Don “Mystic” Mack on Power 99. It kicks off with “Don’t Ride Me Now” by Aisha (I think), which is a surprisingly driving track that I don’t remember anything about and is followed by a Pharcyde remix instrumental track with DJ Ran cutting Jerky Boys calls on top. The rest of the set is pretty solid, with a few surprises (like another track by Aisha about having her picture on a million dollar bill and some ragga courtesy of Tiger and Burro Banton).

This is side A of a tape that also features a DJ Jay-Ski mix (coming tomorrow).
