This episode of the Q102 Hip-Hop Review is from May 15, 1994 (there’s a mention of it being the second day of Black Expo U.S.A. ’94) and features Jay-Ski on the wheels, Mike Elliot & Shelly Shell hosting, and Lee Lava answering phones (props to Mike Elliot for giving so much shine to the dude answering phones). Some really good tracks chopped and sliced to perfection by Jay.

This tape’s a little weird — side B of my tape seems to be the first part (labeled as side A here), yet the way “Crooklyn” ends one side and starts the other doesn’t seem to fit that. Not sure exactly what happened here. Anyway, enjoy.
