Chicago-based artist and producer Meedak delivers a powerful tribute to classic hip-hop with Raps of Yore (The Complete Edition)—an album rooted in the nostalgic essence of the 1990s. Fully produced by Meedak himself, the project reflects his dedication to authentic boom-bap sounds, soulful samples, and lyrical depth inspired by hip-hop’s golden age.
Originally released in 2025 as a concise 7-track project, Raps of Yore blends raw production with timeless themes, aiming to bring hip-hop back to its core foundations. Tracks like “Real Hip Hop 95bpm” and “Built Different” highlight his commitment to preserving classic vibes while adding a modern touch.
The album also features notable appearances from legends like Mos Def and Big Daddy Kane, alongside Ape Up Speedy, creating a bridge between generations of hip-hop.
With this project, Meedak not only showcases his versatility as both rapper and producer but also reinforces his mission: to keep the spirit of real hip-hop alive.
