PEEP IT...

With all the talk of the "F*** Mixtape DJ's" and "DJ's Being Dead", The Block has decided to pay homage to the pioneers of the artform, in an effort to show respect to those who paved the way for alot of us. Throwback Thursdays will consist of rare jewels and classic mixtapes alot of people forgot about, and most have not heard. Every week, we will feature those lost gems we had to dig in the crates and archives to find. Stay tuned because we have alot in the works in the coming weeks. Walk down memory lane with us as we start jumpstart this week with DJ Clue - Platinum Plus. First released in 1997, Cluemanatti got The Firm to host this project, which features everyone from Jay-Z, Mobb Deep, CNN, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes, AZ, Peter Gunz & Lord Tariq, Ma$e and many more. Remember when.....?
