This free-flowing work of musical art opens on the one of the most nostalgic musical moments of history, let alone the 2000’s, OutKast’s smooth as silk Hey Ya! and then we get the absolutely bangin’ DJ Snake & Lil Jon track Turn Down for What, DMX and his gangsta Party Up, The Notorious B.I.G.’s veritably ’90s hip hop/rap Hynpotize, and Nelly’s Country Grammar continues the musical journey into the golden age of hip-hop.

Next up is Flo Rida’s unforgettable catchy My House and with a beat so old it can still slap so many years later, Too $hort’s Blow the Whistle is up next, and is followed by the harmonizing flow of the late Migos’ Stir Fry, the sexualized bumping within Eve’s Tambourine, the cadence, flow and punchlines from Lil Wayne featuring Cory Guns on 6 Foot 7 Foot is amazing, and then we get some good flute (which always enhances a rap, IMHO) of DaBaby’s Bop, and we get the addictive masterpiece from Post Malone featuring 21 Savage, Rockstar.

As we come into the final bend, up next is the nostalgic-tipped Black Beatles from Rae Sremmurd featuring Gucci Mane, the brilliant rhythmic vibes within 24kGoldn featuring iann dorr’s Mood, the collection rounding out on the addictive beats and grooves within Black Eyed Peas’ Boom Boom Pow, the certified hood classic Black and Yellow from Wiz Khalifa, it all coming to a close on the creatively unique G-Eazy featuring A$AP Rocky & Cardi B hit, No Limit.
