Southern Series Volume 1


Yesterday I went ski-biking. I removed the wheels from my bicycle, and put a set of short skis on. Great for downhill turns! What does this have to do with hip hop from the south ? Southern beats and rhymes keep me warm up here in the arctic north. The selection I am posting today is the 1st of a series of southern compilations I put together, starting back in 2005. Although a few of these tracks are not exactly T.R.O.Y. material, they are dope and deserve some recognition. Killer Mike's tale of betrayal is one of my favorite 'contemporary' tracks for instance. Track 3 is a mystery to me. I found this one about 10 years ago. It's a banger! To this day, I have been unable to find anything else by Camakazie. It's not an uncommon name, which is a bit of a hindrance to the search. If anyone out there can provide some background info that would be awesome.
