"DJ HEDSPIN x SHARKS & HAMMERS Present: RAKIM - The R Mixtape 1.0" [Mix]

The dedication to the one of the most respected MCs in hip-hop history, RAKIM aka the 18th letter.

Featuring the classics such as "Eric B For President", "Microphone Fiend", "I Know You Got Soul", "It's Been A Long Time", "Guess Who's Back" etc. along with the sampled soul classics and the collaborations. Not new, though, it still sounds strong enough.
