Monday Mixtape: Jam On It ( @Soulbounce )

I love making concept mixtapes. Butta from Soulbounce asked to create an old school mix for the 5th Blog Anniversary and when she sent me the cover art I knew what I had to do. This mixtape is full of hip hop dance tracks from 1980-1985. I remember listening to many of these songs as a pre-teen and although this is vintage music, I think you will still enjoy the trip down memory lane! Thanks Soulbounce for the request and as always I am truly honored to be one of your mixologists!!

Quote from Soulbounce:

“B-girls and b-boys, make some noise for our newest Mixologists mix coming straight outta the crates of DJ Diva with Jam On It. She dug up some old school hip-hop classics from the ’80s to get you moving and sho’ nuff grooving (and maybe even pop locking and uprocking). On Jam On It you’ll find tracks by Run-DMC, LL Cool J, Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh, Boogie Boys, Fearless Four and so much more to get your head nodding. The Mixtress of R&B most definitely knows her hip hop as this mix will attest to. So without further adieu, press play and remember the good old days when hip hop has young and fun. “
