Description

Grup Ses returns with Program #02, a selection of Turkish Rap from tape only releases between 1986 – 1995.

German/Turkish band Cartel’s self-titled debut album (1995), set the standards for Turkish rap, both in terms of production and lyrical content. This mixtape compiles rap music that came out before Cartel’s debut which are mostly studio projects. Lyrically this period is the era of covers & comedy rap. Topics include daily matters, politics, school, urban life and rapid changes in culture.

Previously released as a short online mixtape, now finalised for Sucata Tapes as an hour long set with more tracks from the era.
