Known for its darkness, heavy bass, and fast flows; Memphis Rap originated in the early '90s with the likes of DJ Squeeky, DJ Zirk, DJ Spanish Fly, and early Three 6 Mafia. Perhaps most notably, it was Memphis Rap, along with Miami Bass, that laid the groundwork for Crunk and Trap. Memphis Rap was crucial to the Horrorcore movement, as its grimey and often sinister production complemented its hardcore lyricism. Additionally, it was the first style of rap to feature true tongue twisting.

[Partially Lost] DJ Akoza - Promo Tape (2017)

postin here for get more audience and help lol

More or less at the beginning of 2017, the producer of Memphis Revival (aka phonk) DJ Akoza released a compilation of some songs that he or his friends made from the record label ''DOOMSHOP RECORDS'' and the other record label ''SIC RECORDS'' With the aim of promoting them and making their underground sound of that moment sound, it was released in cassette form, making it currently impossible to get a copy of that same mixtape at a good price. price, this same mixtape has a different version available on BandCamp but it does not have the same songs as this other mixtape, which makes it a little difficult to find information about it, because since they only made 15 copies of this mixtape, well, there is not as much people who want to talk about this

Whose mixtape contained 56 songs by different artists, which were MC H*L*C*UST, Mista Frost, Domsta, Cursed, Tyris White, KevinTheCreep and more artists, this same mixtape presents instrumentals by other artists which I suspect are from DJ Akoza, Instrumentals have not been published for now and only belong to that mixtape.

I don't know where and when this mixtape began to be sold, but I doubt that it was through the same bandcamp akoza page, where he sold his cassettes and merch there, and that now he only has a few items for sale and I would say that this mixtape was sold around 15-20$, as I had said before, only 15 copies were made and the 15 lucky people who managed to get this cassette do not want say something or reveal yourself on the internet. The only user who publicly said that he had this cassette was ''lvcidtapes'', and this user uploaded about 10 songs from this album but they are not enough for the number of songs that this mixtape has.
