Paul C
Howie Tee

SD50's
Easy Mo Bee et al (add your favourite producers here-------------------------------------------------------------------) would be on because he really was/is a master of that dark straight raw New York shit (his drums and drum loops were always dope) and he flipped samples way before other producers found them.
Buckwild could also produce beats that could set you at ease as well, Reservoir Doggz-Back At Berth for a perfect example of a soothing piano sample or the laid back tone on Organized Konfusion's very heartfelt Invetro.
It's strange that Buckwild is not as acclaimed as he should be, maybe he was overshadowed by the other DITC members or something?, I don't know but I do know and remember that he was one of the names of classic 90's Hip Hop production and worked with pretty much everyone East & West Coast... I am really pleased that this compilation has been released because now today's kids can hear what they missed.

It must have been a hard process selecting all of those tracks (or they could have just seen Sentenza'SOHH's 2005 comps ha ha) and while I think that the 2 Disc comp was insane...I feel that a few dope and timeless joints were missed so here they are...enjoy
