In addition to all sorts of real life adventures and exploits, I've been working on a west coast radio summer mix. I'm trying to only include sunshine state joints from 92-95. Four glorious summers, defined by
the Chronic, the Predator and
Doggystyle, a golden state age before the great rap war. I wanna capture the vibe of the good video

The Alkaholiks- DAAAM!!According to
the breaks, DJ Muggs used at least four songs, which are listed below.
Cal Tjader- Morning Mist
Bob James- Nautilus
Le Pamplemouse- Gimme What You Got
Dennis Edwards- Don't Look Any Further
