CHAMPAGNE COMPILATION REVIEW

Simply put quintessential arts as an organization knows what made it come to fruition and that’s hip-hop, a genre that established itself as a one of one in the late 80’s and is now arguably a culture bigger than any cult or religion in the face of the earth. So, in everything, from curation to the layout and proposition it’s all hip-hop. The cover for this compilation makes it clear with the coordinates pointed to the Bronx, New York; where it all started - for references “Mc Shan & Marley Marl - The Bridge” / “Boogie Down Productions - The Bridge Is Over”. When the champagne instrumentals were first released Quintessential Arts was not yet digested by as many people as it is now, it’s only right that a reissue is made with a new look.
