Background on All Hits: SuperSoulSh*t Volume I:

Ahhhh, The Next Level: Hawaii's original Hip Hop show; College Radio KTUH 90.3 FM, Friday Night, Midnight to 3am...

The 5 semesters we broadcast out of that dark cozy corridor known as Hemingway Hall rm. 202, on the University of Hawaii @ Manoa Campus were truly something special. From Spring 1995 to Summer 1997, we dug in our crates & cd books to give you the best Non-Commercial Hip Hop available.

We played Biggie before he became an icon & martyr.

We had Common Sense before he was simply Common.

We tried to force-feed The Roots & Outkast, Bahamadia & Gangstarr down every listeners earhole. Busta Rhymes, Redman, De La Soul, Pharcyde, Nas, Mobb Deep & A Tribe Called Quest were in our permanent rotation before any other station in Hawaii ever thought of playing these artists.

Our old school hours were classic like shell-top Adidas & our occasional late-night jazz/soul hour was simply divine. Our faithful listeners still remember this; those herb smoke filled, late night sessions eventually became stuff of legend.

For those of you who look to recapture those precious moments, we present to you, ALL HITS: SuperSoulSh*t. This is a special compilation near and dear to our hearts as it perfectly replicates one of The Next Level's favorite Late Night jazz/soul hours.

This is the kind of set that would have the folks wrapping up their parties in the dorms & on-campus apartments something to wind down and get busy to....

Feel free to do the same...

Happy Listening,

beats & blessings
