Hip hop Hooray! Crucial Digital Underground

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre, and this week's Crucial Vinyl is Sex Packets, released in 1990 by Digital Underground.

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre - mixing his favourite new music with classics from the UK, Europe, USA, Jamaica, Africa, Japan and way beyond.

Each week he also highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection. This time, as part of 6 Music's celebration of hip hop, it's Sex Packets, released in 1990 by Digital Underground.

Don says, 'This was a refreshing break from the more braggadocious stuff going around at the time, Digital Underground's thing was Funkadelic samples, Parliament loops, seriously funny rhymes and some heavy P-Funk grooves.'.
