I think the best ever single grime tape pack / mix release was Rinse FM’s amazing Rinsessions Vol. 1, which was released in 2005. A true landmark release, it featured six mixes from some of the scene’s leading names, such as Roll Deep, Ruff Sqwad, Slimzee, Plasticman (now known as Plastician), and Logan Sama (plus a UK Garage mix from Jiggy B). For my March mix for Begrime I decided to pay homage to this landmark set by pulling together an all vinyl mix featuring tracks that appeared on Rinsessions. It’s all instrumentals, so feel free to yell your favorite classic bars at it while you listen!
(Yes, I know it’s taken me a really long time to get this one on Soundcloud lol)
