A Kanye West mixtape has surfaced from 1997 and it’s incredible. It has the old school feels that could only be Kanye.
It brings me back to a time when it wasn’t about popularity, but just about the music. How times have changed!
Produced by Trilly Madison, it’s a perfect blend of RnB and hip-hop. What a great listen. When mixtapes like this surface, expectations are usually high, and they’re often not met – but this one is definitely worth a listen!
With no lyrics it makes it easy to feel the music and what Kanye was feeling at the time – even though this just has samples on it.
I sometimes wish Kanye would bring back the old school flavour he used to have. Yes, staying relevant sells records – but staying true keeps you humble.
Have a listen and enjoy.
Godspeed.
