    I just stumbled across your channel and realized you are the key to a puzzle I've tried to put together for some time. Thank you for still being around to share your knowledge and expertise. My interest is in a fairly new artist and how his journey intersects with MJ and others who have natural talent, but come to the realization that only by looking backwards, perfecting what the greats did before you, and then making something unique to yourself, will you be able to stand in line with the greats.
    What does that have to do with cassette tapes? Nothing, but cassette tapes were an affordable way for talented, driven people to find their audience and stay afloat while waiting for that big break to come along. My guy dropped his debut album in 2023, but maybe he should put out a mixtape on cassette in 2026. Going against the grain often puts you ahead of the pack.

    I created one of the greatest mixtapes ever and it was influenced from the DJ's in NYC where you could buy mixtapes off of the street and hear stuff that was not on the radio as well as get hip to knew artists or your favorite artist dropping an unreleased track it also exposed one to new artists.

    Me and a partner provided distribution from NYC to NC in the 90's with high speed dubbing machines and remastered quality tapes.
    DJ Ron G, DJ Clue, DJ Doo Wop, DJ Kid Capri, DJ Whoo Kid, DJ Tony Touch, DJ Green Lantern, DJ Envy, DJ Cutmaster C, DJ S&S, DJ Buckwild, DJ Juice (NJ), DJ Dirty Harry, DJ Jazzy Joyce, DJ Triple C, DJ Backspin (NJ), DJ Chubby Chubb, DJ Kay Slay and more…..
    It was unlike anything you could imagine, dropping them off in local corner stores helped them spread like wild fire, it was like a form of social media back then, kids would come in from the streets and get thier tapes and be up on the latest underground sounds, and the Dj's normally dropped "shout outs" to different people and businesses they knew on top of the music.

    These tapes were such a big deal that record company exec's often built rapports with the Dj's so they could leak music to the streets, classic albums like Nas "Illmatic" mentions Ron G on the track "One Time 4 Your Mind" and Biggie's classic album Mentions Ron G as well in the song "Juicy".
    We bought master copies from some of the Dj's themselves and got shout outs a couple times through this journey. Otherwise we'd get them from "Stereo Plaza" on 125th St. and "Rock & Will" record shop, and there were a couple street sources that had good quality, however we always remastered our tapes on to "High Bias Maxells" or TDK's before dubbing copies.

    Our distrubtion caused DJ Ron G, DJ Kid Capri, DJ Doo Wop, And DJ Jazzy Joyce to get booked by club owners down here in NC to come DJ at thier club from time to time. We were able to meet some of them and all of it feels surreal now seeing how some of them like DJ Envy ended up on The Breakfast Club, DJ Whoo Kid on SiriusXM with Shady Records and many more ended up being a staple in hip-hop today.

    Super excited to see these! If the cassette were really making enough of a comeback there would be some decent portable cassette players being made now though I would imagine? I had a few in the '90s and even the cheap ones were good compared to what I've tried in the last couple of years (which wouldn't even play at a consistent speed!). I'd love to buy a decent 'walkman' for a reasonable (!) price…
