This week, I’m joined by DJ Doug Miller of Elite Sound Entertainment, and we’re dialing it back to 1993 — a year that didn’t just deliver great hip-hop, it reshaped the culture.

With landmark albums like Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Doggystyle, and Midnight Marauders all dropping within months of each other, 1993 felt like a nonstop run of instant classics. This episode pulls 20 standout tracks from that era — the songs that rattled car speakers, dominated house parties, and still hit just as hard decades later.

From gritty East Coast lyricism to West Coast swagger, this playlist captures the sound, energy, and attitude of one of the greatest years in hip hop history — no skips, no filler, just certified classics.
