Mixtapes have an out-sized role in the emergence of hip hop around the world. Before radio play, the internet, and social media, there were mixtapes. No matter where you lived, you could pop a cassette into a tape deck, and be transported to a party halfway around the world. DJs were taste makers, trendsetters and creators of the sound that became the biggest musical genre on the planet. A meteoric rise for an art form not yet 50 years old. The importance of mixtapes goes well beyond the tapes themselves. Mixtapes were a form of currency. A signifier that you were In-The-Know and had your ear to the streets. A skeleton key to the underground. The culture was too strong to be stopped, and the artists were too talented to be ignored - so they turned the sub-culture into the mainstream, and made hip hop what it is today.
DJ Megan Ryte is a New York based DJ who had, what she thought, was a wonderful idea: Release an album after suffering four strokes. It can be said that an artist’s first album is a product of their entire life’s journey. Megan’s is no different. Her cult-like upbringing gave her the drive to make it in a male dominated industry. By doing so, she was able to garner the needed connections to create an entirely feature based body of work with some of Hip Hop’s biggest stars. Although it sounded like a great idea, everything that could go wrong – did go wrong. In this documentary, Megan breaks down how she released her album in 9 steps, with help from some of her industry friends and family... so you can do the opposite. Or maybe not?
