Heavy Rotation XIV: The ‘Soundview Avenue’ Edition

Let’s take it back to a time when the hottest rapper out wasn’t rapping about Lollipops. Lets go back to a time when it was commonplace to see people walking around wearing Denim from head to toe. Let’s go back to a time when Biggie was on the top of the charts and was still touring. Let’s go back to a time when Breakdancing and wearing Adidas Track Suits was the thing. Lets go back to a time when music got spins based on having a message.

Let’s go back to the South Bronx…
