Gym soundtrack for today: Mad Kap - Look Ma Duke, No Hands One of the most slept-on gems of early ’90s underground hip-hop. The album stood out in an era dominated by G-Funk/gangsta rap, delivering instead a jazz-heavy, sample-driven sound rooted in East Coast traditions but built with LA flavor.

Gym soundtrack for today: People Under the Stairs- The Next Step In 1998, #PeopleUnderTheStairs — a two-man crew from L.A. made up of Thes One and Double K (RIP) — dropped a record that felt like it came straight out of a dusty stack of vinyl & into your soul: The Next Step. This is dope as hell!

Gym soundtrack for today: A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory This was #ATribeCalledQuest’s 2nd album & is one of the most iconic records ever. Fusing jazz with boom-bap beats, it pioneered a smoother, deeper, more introspective sound that broke away from the aggressive norm of the early 90s.

Gym soundtrack for today: Your Old Droog - Time One of my favorite projects from one of my favorite artists. #YourOldDroog’s pen is razor-sharp & delivery effortless. His reflections on time, memory & mortality hit different with every listen. One of the best concept albums ever in my opinion. 👌

Gym soundtrack for today: Da King & I – Contemporary Jeep Music A forgotten gem from the golden era — but if you know, you know. This album is one of those rare, slept-on classics that somehow got lost in the shuffle of a crowded ’93, but deserves to get its flowers for sure! #DaKingandI
