Greatest Hits Part #1 is exactly what the title suggests, a curated compilation of DJ Squeeky’s rise from the early ’90s into his dominant 1994 run. Pulling material that dates from 1991 through 1994, this tape bridges the different eras of Memphis rap, combining his raw early underground recordings with more polished mid-’90s street anthems. Rather than a label-style “greatest hits,” this feels like a street-certified compilation, assembled for listeners already tapped into the Memphis scene. The track selection highlights Squeeky’s role as both producer and connector, bringing together artists from different camps: Al Kapone, Skinny Pimp, Kilo G, Homicyde, 8Ball & MJG, DJ Zirk, and more. The inclusion of bonus tracks on both Side A and Side B gives the tape added value, making it feel closer to a DJ archive than a standard compilation. Sonically, the tape moves from darker, minimalist early Memphis production into harder, bass-driven cuts that would define the city’s sound by the mid-’90s. Interludes, outros, and dedication tracks keep the cassette-era structure intact, reinforcing that this was made for tape decks and car systems and not radio. As a whole, Greatest Hits Part #1 works both as an entry point for new listeners and a reward for longtime fans — documenting DJ Squeeky’s evolution while preserving the raw feel of the original recordings.
