Throw Em' Up

Onra & Lexis “Throw’Em Up 3″

Soul

Volume 3 is the edition that required the most work so far because while Volume 1 was about 3/4 classics and Volume 2 about 1/2 classics, this one features some heavy digging, including a lot of rare remixes and slept-on jams. As usual, a few classics too! Tons of artists on this mix never got their big break, so it’s great to be able to bring some light to those records.

This particular edition features only Female artists, and while the vocals remain sweet, quite a few songs showcase a Hip-Hop mindset that has been lost in today’s modern R’n’B. Singers like Leschea, Simple E and G Simone amongst others, definetely represented for the Female gender with proud, attitude and authenticity.

Volume 3 also features an all-star roster of MC’s like Guru, Jay-Z, Grand Puba, Sadat X, Krs-One, and renowned producers, such as Allstar, Mark The 45 King and Erick Sermon.

All the tracks on this mix have been selected by Onra & Lexis and encoded from original vinyl records (except for Skillz “Throw Your Hands Up” which was encoded from the original CD-only release). Selection by Onra & Lexis – Mixed by Onra.
