VARIOUS ARTISTS - Nova Classics - Hiphop 01 (Sealed) (2LP)

Killer comp here which gives us a great overview of backpacker, underground and golden age hip hop, with a focus on the artists and tracks which sat just under the mainstream. Opening with Q-Tip's lesser known but super dope "Let's Ride", the two disc collection bumps through cuts from the likes of Rakim, Funkdoobiest, Dilla, Pharcyde and Oh No. All killa, no filla folks.
