THE DIGGERS UNION - ENJOY AND BE EDUCATED #1408: A TRIP DOWN MIXTAPE MEMORY LANE PT. 2 (1 YEAR ANNIVERARY)
We've just celebrated our 50th episode of Enjoy and Be Educated, and this week marks 1 year we've been on the air; the milestones are consistent, but welcomed wholeheartedly. For this edition, we've decided to highlight various blends/remixes we've done over the years, as there's no higher form of creativity than creating a new song out of previously recorded material. Hence, our 2nd installment into our series, "A Trip Down Mixtape Memory Lane". With a collective catalog spanning 10+ years, there's no shortage of material to showcase. Here are some of our favorite and well-received mixes; as a dedication to the mix tape pioneers, be sure to listen for the segment where a live remix is done on the air. We'd like to thank our listeners, radio staff and our affiliates as we look to an even better 2nd year. As always with The Diggers Union, enjoy and be educated.

The Diggers Union: This week marks 40 years since the creation of hip-hop in a small party in The Bronx. Now a global phenomenon, it started out as a simple formula; a great sound system, the DJ, the MCs, the B-Boys and graffiti. Park jams became notorious before invading clubs, and eventually made it to our airwaves. We at The Diggers Union pay tribute with 2-hours of breaks and classic songs which helped to shape what we know and love today. Happy Birthday hip-hop and as always, enjoy and be educated!
