It's Been a While ... Show 5 Playlist

I shouldn'ta left you ... without a dope beat to step to. By beats, I mean playlists for Yo! KALX Raps! or any other kind of music related posts. I don't even have a good excuse for not blogging, so I'm just going to skip the usual written self-flagellation for not updating and just get on with.

After the jump you'll find the first of a few Yo! KALX Raps! Playlists that I've neglected to post until now.

Wow, I have to reach all the way back to December for my Show 5 playlist, that's how inattentive I've been. Better late than never, I suppose. My last show of 2008 was a look back at the year in hip-hop with some of my favorite tracks from '08.
