Sounds Like: Fresh Start Mix :
"DJ Roosevelt Treasurechest has been doing it for years. Consistently on the realest hip-hop shit since day numero uno, I remember as a young lad catching wind of some of the freshest music through his musical mixes. Currently PHLI’s official DJ out here in Chicago, I reached out to sir Treasurechest to contribute some of his mixes to our little thing we’ve got going on over here at Blind I. He’s happily obliged, and has put together a nice introductory mix for the Blind I faithful. Partake in the freshness!"
