I wish to clarify how I strategy curating the CRT FRSH playlist. Most significantly, I don’t segregate my Hip-Hop. Each type of music from the principle cultural tree deserves a pay attention and a glance. Once I assemble the playlist, I wish to embody all areas throughout the States and, when relevant, throughout the globe. I additionally wish to entertain each fan of Hip-Hop, not simply those that take pleasure in one section of it. Now that we’ve bought that out of the best way, let’s get to it. — D.L. Chandler
