Do Remember!: The Golden Era of NYC Hip-Hop Mixtapes

Do Remember!—a culture built in the mix.

Before digital, before mainstream, mixtapes set the tempo of New York hip-hop. They decided what moved in clubs, what played on the radio, what lived in the streets—and who would make it next.

This book traces that era through voices and visuals. Rare cover art, unseen images, original tracklists, and interviews with the DJs and artists who shaped the scene—Kid Capri, Mister Cee, Ron G, Doo Wop, DJ Kay Slay, and more.

Part oral history, part visual archive—
a record of a time when influence wasn’t measured, it was felt.
