This is a joint I released the beginning of last year… an ode to the wonderful era of the 80s. This piece of work also contains some of today’s music mixed & blended into a nice brew of memories & goodtimes, hence the name 198NOW!!!!!

Official Press Release:

198NOW (Nineteen Eighty Now) is a tribute to the 80s with some of today’s music sprinkled throughout. Non-stop mixing which features music from the 80s era (Hip Hop, R&B, Freestyle, Electro, Dance & New Wave).

It also contains some of Dub Floyd Screamixxes with an 80s spin & a few surprises that’ll take you back. This is for everyone who miss those days, those months & those golden years of the 80s, which pretty much birthed a lot of what’s going on today, as far as music, fashion & technology. Dub promises to take you on an adventure…. back to your fondest memories, all while creating new ones with the music of today.
