North Vs South (Carolina) 1994-2001

Obscure and dope hip hop from North Carolina, and South Carolina. It's a showdown where no-one comes out on top. Every track hits. You can hear both east coast and southern influences in the music here. Sista One & Guava Don start things off right and Ten Up brings the wagon home in style. This mix is pretty cohesive beginning to end so I hope y'all like it as much as I do. It has been on rewind for days.
