The Crate 808 squad return to talk classic 90s albums with fellow rap podcaster, Jon Bass (The Notorious P.O.D.), to see which record we can put into our very own Hall of Fame - Crate 808. This is part one of a two-part episode, discussing Mobb Deep’s ‘The Infamous' and OutKast’s ‘Aquemini’ - but the whole thing is up on YouTube for the people that can’t wait for part two: https://bit.ly/34GR2iu
