A Tribe Called Quest dropped their classic album “Midnight Marauders” thirty years ago on the same very day the world was introduced to the Wu-Tang Clan. We celebrate both releases with this special edition of Word is Bond Rap Radio.

First up, Digging the Greats breaks down why Midnight Marauders is a perfect album.

Then we get to hear two incredible mash-up mixes by DJ Filthy Rich. The first one has A Tribe Called Quest rhyming over Wu-Tang Clan beats. The care and craftsmanship that went into this mix will blow your mind.

Perhaps you heard the first mash-up mix he made five years ago to celebrate the 25th anniversary of both releases. If not, keep listening to hear Wu-Tang go hard over Tribe Called Quest beats. Both mixes are incredible!
