DJ Mark And DJ Best Out Give Us One For The Road

By Odeisel

We often forget about the war when it isn’t in our faces. Everyone screams bring the troops home when you can see bombs on the television, but soldiers are deployed even when full-scale war isn’t in effect. In “peace” time, thousands of soldiers are still in danger and have to hold the fort down in a foreign land, and are often faced with decisions of life and death that can shatter a man.

Sometimes the simple things we hold on to are all that tether us. Music is one of those things. Planet Ill’s own DJ Mark is a soldier and is being deployed to Afghanistan shortly. I’ve known him since he was a kid, and watched him evolve as a man and to make the decision to defend this country, regardless of how you feel about American conflicts abroad. His life is on the line and for that I salute him.

DJ Mark, along with collaborator DJ Best Out, put together one for the road. Best Out, also a veteran and PNC Radio DJ gave up the opportunity to DJ for Noreaga when he was really popping, to perform military service. We salute him as well.

This mixtape is a throwback to that 90s era that everyone can’t get enough of (especially those that were around then. The tape comes in two sections with a mix session featuring classic breaks from the likes of Billy Squire and James Brown and a second section with golden era Hip-Hop. Track listing below. Break out the yellow ribbons till my man DJ Mark returns.  Until then, pump his tape. Peace.
