(Digitally Remastered) Curated with the precision of a true historian and mixed with the skill of an ATL legend, the Dirty South Bass Mixtape features rare remixes, independent 12-inches from producers who never got their due, and the bass-heavy tracks that Southern DJs guarded like secrets. From Miami bass influences to homegrown Atlanta creations, NABS chronicles the evolution of the low-end theory that became the backbone of Southern hip-hop.
This is essential listening for anyone who remembers when bass was measured in pounds of pressure, not streaming numbers. Digitally remastered from the original cassette for premium sound quality while maintaining that authentic analog warmth.
Perfect for: Bass music historians, Southern hip-hop collectors, anyone who remembers when "Whoomp! There It Is" was still underground

Now, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of In the Lab with DJ NABS, legendary Atlanta radio pioneer DJ NABS is making history by releasing his coveted vintage mixtape collection to the public for the first time ever.
