DJ Spinna – The Pharcyde ‘Labcabincalifornia’ 25th Anniversary Mixtape

The Pharcyde’s sophomore album Labcabincalifornia was originally released on November 14th, 1995. The group enlisted a young and then unknown James Yancey aka J Dilla to produce beats, like the cult classic Runnin. They also collaborated with director Spike Jonze (“Being John Malkovich” “Adaptation”) on the video for Drop. Labcabincalifornia has consistently and continues to reinforce their steadfast refusal to tread familiar artistic grounds.

To celebrate the 25th album anniversary NYC’s DJ Spinna cooked a dope mixtape featuring Nasty Habits, an unreleased joint from the vault that features Ralph Tresvant & Bobby Brown. A group of producers were also asked to remix and add their own personal spin on a few of the Labcabincalifornia songs that we all know and love.
