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)
