“The mix is basically a blend of every classic Miami musical style from the ’70s to the ’90s. You have the nasty funk of Clarence Reid and Willie Clarke along with all of the TK Disco family, blended right next to the 808 ’80s. Miami provided the inspiration for the whole trap sound today. I mean, I’m not even talking about the 140 BPM jams that everybody knows, but there are also so many mid-tempo bass joints that paved the way for Caprice music. Cool Will’s “On the One” is one of those classics if you grew up in Miami during that era. Then in the ’90s, there was a surprising amount of quality hip-hop coming out of Miami. “96 Cream Hunt” was a Miami anthem and Mic Rippa was a legend during that time, especially for somehow getting Juju from the Beatnuts to produce a beat for him. Legend has it, that there’s a whole Mic Rippa album produced by Juju sitting in a drawer somewhere in Queens.”
