The title says it all, doesn’t it? I’ve become a big fan of Jaycee’s since I stumbled on his heartfelt Michael Jackson tribute mix. Jaycee is a rare breed that, thanks to his experience as a radio, club and tour DJ (for Ludacris), has the ability and requisite knowledge to seamlessly switch between various music genres and make it look so effortless. This homage mixtape to a less-celebrated era of music is a furious dive into a trove of hits that lit through the 1980s. All the greats are here. The sample sources to some of your favorite hits of the past three decades get some shine too. If you grew up in the eighties, memories are bound to overflow and you’ll love it. Dig in!!!
