Reggae and hip-hop share a long, connected history. It runs from Lee "Scratch" Perry’s pioneering dub techniques influencing hip-hop production to Jamaican artists like Kool DJ Herc and The Notorious B.I.G. shaping the sound of New York City. Long before hip-hop took off, sound system dances relied on flipping the 7-inch to ride the instrumental "version", a style of deejay toasting that Jamaican immigrants and their children directly imported to NYC as the foundation for modern rhyming. This mix is featuring some of those crossover tracks and standout remixes that put that shared heritage front and center.
