100dBs: Brenner's Breaks Vol. 2

It ain't hard to tell 100dBs was born for NYC - and Brenner's Breaks Vol. 2 is the College Park-via-Israel transplant's second study in dissecting and combining carbon layers of the city's 30-year hip hop history with a turntable lab coat. Mixing East Coast heavyweights like De La, Ghostface, Prince Po and Nas with fresh looseleaf from next gens Ryan O'Neil, Hicoup and Sirah, he's an underground hero the real heads can believe in, documenting the NY state of rhyme in real time.
