A raw Memphis relic from the early ’90s underground scene, Volume #35 shows DJ B.K. continuing to carve out his identity as a mixtape curator with a gritty edge and a sharp ear for Southern bass and West Coast funk. As one of the earliest B.K. tapes to surface, this volume blends Memphis cuts with iconic national tracks, making it a great example of how regional DJs at the time filtered mainstream hip-hop through their own local sensibilities. From Geto Boys and N.W.A. to hometown staples like Gangsta Pat and 8Ball & MJG, this mix captures a snapshot of 1992’s hardest-hitting rap, often layering or transitioning tracks with lo-fi interludes and quick-mix energy. You’ll also find cuts from lesser-known voices like Wildliffe Society and local acts like Homicyde, giving the tape a deeper Memphis tape-trading feel. The transitions are fast, the fidelity is rough, and the content pulls no punches — a true document of the time. Whether you’re here for archival purposes or simply to vibe with some rugged old-school energy, this volume is a strong example of early Memphis DIY mixtape culture.
