Covering the Hip Hop releases of 1992 was no small task. After finding more than 250 releases and more than 100 albums interesting enough that we felt we had to cover, we end up making some difficult choices. It was obviously not a two man job, too much for Mr Dan & The RawSoul. So we decided to do like last year and give you a “best of the rest”, a selection of projects we couldn’t create an article about but thought they should be mentioned somehow for different reasons. So fasten your seatbelt, what’s coming is not easy to digest, but we felt it was necessary to really wrap up the 30th anniversary of the year. The long list includes YouTube links to stream the album and a video if available. We hope you have the passion, patience and a good internet connection to go through everything. This is for real Hip Hop heads only!
PS. We have two recap mixes left to put together to cover the second part of the year, we are working on it right now. Coming soon!
