In celebration of Hip Hop’s 50th year, Classic Material teamed up with crate diggers’ journal Wax Poetics to present a chronologically themed series of mixtapes celebrating the history of recorded rap music, mixed by Chris Read. The mixtape series is accompanied by this series of brief megamixes, originally featured on The Diary mixtape, repackaged with updated artwork, playing tribute to classic record label sleeves from Hip Hop’s golden eras.
