Listen to Wax Poetics’ ‘Resurrection’ 25th Anniversary Mixtape
On October 4, Common’s Resurrection turned 25. It’s a classic album from hip hop’s golden era that served as a soundtrack to our culture throughout the ‘90s. Check 411’s archive for evidence of how intertwined Common’s music was with skateboarding at that time. Wax Poetics enlisted Chris Read to give Resurrection its mixtape treatment in honor of this milestone birthday. It’s definitely worth a listen.
