#TBT this week goes to DJ Eleven and the 3rd volume in his Soul series. Per usual, Eleven is diving in deep from an era perspective while maintaining a very fluid vibe to appropriately keep the soulful feel at a high level. This 3rd installment features such a wide array of artists and sounds but mixes it all so tastefully. There aren’t many mixtapes where Trick Daddy and Toto sit so comfortably next to Marvin Gaye and Darius Rucker. Yeah, you read all that right. Sit back, kick off your shoes and revisit this one below today with a forecast heavy on all the Soul.
