Am 15. Dezember 1992 erschien mit Dr. Dres Debütalbum The Chronic auf Death Row Records in Zusammenarbeit mit Interscope und Priority Records. Ein Meilenstein der Ra-Geschichte und absoluter Klassiker. Produziert von Dre selbst und Suge Knight, der seine Finger als Executive Producer im Spiel hatte.

DJ Matmans Tribute Mixtape für Waxpoetics geht mir hervorragend rein.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of West Coast classic ‚The Chronic‘, Dr. Dre’s debut solo LP, our buddy DJ Matman has crafted a dope mix of album tracks, alternative versions, remixes, and original sample material.

Enjoy!
