Soul war immer die Grundlage.
Wie du ja sicher mitbekommen hast, ist die Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin im Alter von 76 Jahren am 16. August 2018 verstorben. R.I.P.Funky Corners hat deshalb ein Mixtape im Gedenken an Aretha hergestellt und dazu die Hip Hop Acts und Songs benutz, welche sich an Aretha Samples bedienten. Großartige Idee. Mit von der Partei sind u.a. 3rd Bass, Blu, Black Star, Cypress Hill, EPMD, Fugees, Heavy D & The Boyz, Heltah Skeltah, KRS-One, Master P, Muneshine, Pete Rock, Pharoahe Monch, Sean Price, Saukrates, Styles P, Termanology, und Rapsody.
