QUARRY 001 - all the gems found while mining for contemporary Hip Hop / Rap - a mix of 30 songs from the independent 'n underground. Some of the tracks are from 2018 and some from 2 weeks ago. Most of the tracks (originally) were only found on Bandcamp or artist sites. The idea is to highlight the great music that isn't necessarily found on major streaming sites that has been in recent/current rotation.
