My Eyejammie Playlist

The release of the Eyejammie Encyclopedia of Hip-Hop has been delayed, but I’ll keep you posted on when it will hit the stores. For those of you who don’t know about this, I wrote dozens of entries, covering everything from Jay-Z and Will Smith (The Fresh Prince long before he was the star of I Am Legend!) to Murder Inc. and hip-hop’s influence on fashion.

I thought I knew the ins and outs of hip-hop when I started writing, but I came across a lot of artists that I’d never heard of and tracks and performers I hadn’t heard in decades. So check out my mashed-up playlist of a few of those songs and some of the classics I’ve rediscovered through my research:

Afrika Bambaataa
