DREAM TEAM 4: 1994 feat Nas, The Beatnuts, DJ Quik, Method Man, Warren G and more!

1994 is regarded by many as the greatest and most important year in hip-hop history, spawning a slew of untouchable classic albums and seeing the artform reach its creative and cultural peak.

In this episode, Danny, Steve and James revisit this monumental year, selecting 22 of their favourite tracks and drawing them against each other in a series of one-on-one matches. After discussing the songs, they use the three-man vote to decide the winner. 

The 11 winning tracks earn a place on our Spotify playlist, which you can bump in your boomin’ system using the link below. The boys also decide on the team's name, manager and star player.
