Our good friends Down Under at Sneaker Freaker have teamed up with a fellow Canadian friend of ours, the one and only Skratch Bastid to produce this amazing mix tape “The Starter Era” for SF’s 22nd magazine issue. Check out what the Bastid had to say about the mix below:
“Issue #22 of international kick-head bible Sneaker Freaker magazine features a 17-page spotlight on Starter athletic wear and how it changed the sports fashion game. To accompany the story, they asked me to make a mix featuring rap jams from Starter’s prime, 1989-1993, to be included with the magazine in physical form. It features classic & overlooked bangers from one of hip-hop’s golden eras, alongside some of the original tunes they sampled and exclusive remixes. You’ll know what’s going down from the intro.”
