Get Grown Mix by GrownFolksMusic

This weeks mix from DJ Phaze takes a trip down 85 south to the “dirty dirty” to give some well deserved props to the pioneers of southern hip hop. If it wasn’t for the Dungeon Family, I’m not sure the south would have the voice or respect that they’ve come to enjoy today.

From the core production team of Organized Noize (and their many credits: EnVogue, TLC, Ludacris etc.), to the multi-generational spin offs: Outkast, Goodie Mob, Big Rube, Joi, Sleepy Brown, Society of Soul, TI, Backbone, Cool Breeze, Witchdoctor, Mr. DJ, Killer Mike (aka Mike Bigga) Bubba Sparxxx and others, they’re responsible for over $20 million dollars in sales.

Vibe magazine had a great piece earlier this year chronicling the history of the family along with their various trials and tribulations. For the latest exclusives and all things DF related, you can check out Maurice Garland, SFTA or keep up with them on twitter. For those who know, this quote pretty much sums up how we feel:

“There’s no other crew like the Dungeon Family.” – T-Boz (TLC)

This is a celebration of the music of the Quincy Jones we know and love. Special shout out to Craig G. for blessing us with some heat and insight over top of a Quincy classic. DJ Phaze is on the mix and we hope you enjoy. You can download the mix by pressing the arrow button on the right side of the player.

The reason why we are doing this is because we hold the music of Quincy Jones in such a high regard. For more info on the upcoming project and a listing of the artists that will be featured go here. Also, after the jump take a listen to a clip of the updated version of “Secret Garden”. Some secrets you should keep to yourself.
