DJ Squeeky – Summer Mix #2 (1994)

DJ Squeeky – Summer Mix Part #2 (1994)

Summer Mix #2 is one of DJ Squeeky’s most street-rooted compilations, released in 1994 during a period when Memphis DJs were acting as curators for the city’s rawest underground talent. This tape leans heavily into neighborhood anthems and posse cuts. The tape pulls together artists from Orange Mound, Frayser, and South Memphis, with appearances from DJ Zirk, Criminal Manne, Al Kapone, Red Boss, Outlaw, Thugsta, and Queen Tanniece, among others. Squeeky’s sequencing blends grim street records with humorous skits and radio-style transitions, keeping the tape moving while still preserving its gritty tone. Tracks like “Cheese, Dope & A Ho,” “All About My Hog Killin’,” and “Hollow Tips” highlight the raw realism Memphis rap was known for, while the interludes and side breaks reinforce the cassette-era listening experience. Summer Mix #2 stands as a strong example of DJ Squeeky’s role not just as a producer, but as a connector within the Memphis underground, showcasing voices that defined the city’s 1990s sound.
