DJ Pizzo Is.... BACK TO SKOOL.

The aim of "Back To Skool" was to do a classic hip-hop mix, built around today's generation of emcees. Virtually all of the tracks on this mix invoke the old school hip-hop feeling, yet everything here was recorded within the last year or so. Some are freestyles over classic beats, others full on remakes, while other tracks are new, but with an old school approach to the production. The end result is a mix of all new tracks, that somehow sounds like it's over 20 years old.

The songs on this mix are inspired by Eric B. & Rakim, Run DMC, Nas, Public Enemy, EPMD, Kool G. Rap & DJ Polo, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, The Notorious B.I.G., LL Cool J, The Roots, Das Efx, Gang Starr, A Tribe Called Quest, Mobb Deep, Eminem, Compton's Most Wanted, and The D.O.C.
