Late 90's Underground Hip-Hop Mix | Rawkus, Stones Throw, Fondle 'Em Classics (1997-1999)

"...when Indie labels ran the underground" Step into the golden era of underground hip-hop with this live DJ set by SHARP., a Central Florida-based DJ and music producer. This mix features rare and essential indie rap tracks from 1997–1999 — a time when independent labels like Rawkus Records, Stones Throw, and Fondle ’Em were shaping the future of hip-hop from the underground up. Recorded live at The Beat Terminal using the Pioneer DJ Rev7 and Serato DJ Pro, this set captures the raw energy of late 90's college radio mix shows, the kind that helped push independent hip-hop into the spotlight. Many of these selections were discovered through legendary record stores like Fat Beats, and they live in the sweet spot of 92–87 BPM, giving the mix a laid-back, head-nodding vibe true to the era. Whether you’re a longtime fan of 90s indie hip-hop or a crate-digger looking for deep cuts, this mix offers a curated experience filled with lyrical fire and dusty beats.
