About

In hip hop’s earliest days, the music only existed in live form, and the music was spread via tapes of parties and shows. Hip hop mixtapes first appeared in the mid-1970s in New York City, featuring artists such as Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa. As more tapes became available, they began to be collected and traded by fans. In the mid-1980s, DJs, such as Brucie B, began recording their live music and selling their own mixtapes, which was soon followed by other DJs such as Kid Capri and Doo Wop. Ron G moved the mixtape forward in the early 1990s by blending R&B a cappellas with hip hop beats (known as “blends”).Blend tapes became increasingly popular by the mid-1990s and fans increasingly looked for exclusive tracks and freestyles on the tapes. Also since the 1990s, it describes releases used to promote one or more new artists, or as a pre-release by more established artists to promote upcoming “official” albums. In the hip hop scene, mix tape is often displayed as a single term mixtape. It is now a word to generally describe full length albums released for free, sometimes all original music, other times composing of freestyles and remixes of popular tracks released on a audio CD.

DJ Moet released his first Mixtape in 1999 with DJ Oz.Since then he has released over 100 mix tapes and has been recognized in various cities and a few countries because of this.

“Everywhere I go I give out free mixtapes. It feels good when fans request a mixtape you did 10 years ago or hear your signature drop MOET.. Moet ..moet! as a car passes by “.-DJ Moet
