ICYMI: Check out ourĀ previous entries/playlists centred uponĀ 1991,Ā 1992, and 1993 respectively!
I hope two weeks was enough time for all of ourĀ Spotify (@Spotify) streamersĀ to fully digest our journey into ’93. Now that we’re just about set to take a look back to 1994, our trek comes with both good and bad news:
- GOOD: A phenomenal year for the genre with landmark debuts from the likes of Nas (@Nas), the Notorious B.I.G., Outkast (@Outkast), the Artifacts, O.C. (@therealocizzle), Jeru the Damaja (@Jeruthedamaja), and more
- BAD: Spotify drops the ball AGAIN with some very prominent releases from 1994 nowhere to be found within their (Canadian) catalogue – continue reading below the playlist for more on these…
A bit of a disappointment as I had planned on integrating some lesser known faves of mine among the hits from the year. Nevertheless, I’m quite pleased with this playlist and still managed to incorporate a few overlooked and forgotten cuts. What a great year this was!
We’re also back onto ourĀ #WaybackWednesdayĀ shit for this week – happy hump day!Ā
