I'll start with a cat from Britain. The name is Aim and he's a trip hop/rap producer who started as a rap dj back in the 1989. He beagn recording after meeting label head Mark Rae (Grand Central Label) at a record store. In 1999, he released his album debut, Cold Water Music. It's difficult to explain his style, I would say dope in any case, but it's best for you to judege it for yourselves. His tracks range from straight up hiphop (The Force with Q'N'C ... the first single from the LP) to downtempo nodders - with good variation via uptempo rockers and atmospherics.
Normally, I hooked some tracks up. Enjoy.

This one is just Kate singing, so those who don't like soulful tracks skip this.
And for the end, Hinterland, instrumental track for a good chillin:

Sorry for the delay, busy summer schedule lately with BBQ's & drinking, summer school, storm chasing, full-time work schedule..ect ect. Anyway if you havn't checked the bombfirst site, we've decided to break WYDU up into two parts. The orginal "Old-School/Rare/OOP" version of WYDU will be moving back to this very site. Any "newer/mainstream/popular" hip hop that I feel like covering will be done on Bombfirst as a kind of "Wake Your Step-Daughter Up ".
So we are running behind schedule on the "Hugely Popular" WYDU Classics Series this month, so let's jump right into it. A have a little something different this month. My man, Phatsoul, has mixed the songs together in a more traditional mixtape sort of way. It took him a lot of time and grief, so I must say "thanks" for the effort he put in for this volume. We would both like you to leave any feedback, good or bad, at what you think and how you would like to see future volumes.
In an effort to get this out there, I'm just going to post up the link for the June Version and update it, hopefully this weekend, in the usual way.
Hopefully everyone makes their way back to the site, because we still have plenty on the menu in the future. WYDU is alive and well. And be sure to check Bombfirst.com for all your hip hop needs and to visit our Step Daughter.
WYDU Classics Vol 6 (June 06')

Sorry, no track list right at this exact moment. I chose the tracks, Phatsoul mixed them in an order that worked with the mix and I don' t have a copy on me at the exact moment....but you know IT HAS TO BE GOOD!
More Updates to be coming soon...including a track by track write up of Vol 6.
