Australian Oldschool Hip Hop, Australian Oldschool theSHIFT (MIXES)
Boogie Down Under Vol4 - The Shift

Boogie Down Under Vol4
Australian Oldschool 1988-1998

The forth installment in this Australian Hip Hop series of mixtapes I'm producing.
This mix I've had in mind since before i even started Vol1. Over the past few years I've seriously been collecting Australian Oldschool Hip Hop either on vinyl format or rips of stuff here and there and slowly its all come together. I wanted to showcase stuff from across the land from that first decade of Australia's Hip Hop history that is mostly unheard whether it's vinyl or cassette only releases. I've spoken with some of the most respected OG's of the scene and dug up some amazing stuff including two previously unreleased tracks by the legends that are AKA Brothers and Lazy Grey and rare demo only versions of some songs.
The mix is a full one hour and contains 20 tracks from 1988 to 1998.
