Mood - MOOD Mixtape (RSD BF 2026, 2LP Vinyl)

Emerging from Cincinnati's underground hip hop scene in the mid-1990s, Mood helped introduce the world to the early sound of Hi-Tek with their cult classic debut Doom and the breakout single "Hustle On The Side."

Originally released in 2005 as a promo-only CD, this special collection compiles unreleased tracks, classic joints, collaborations, freestyles, and rare material from the Mood vault, all produced by Hi-Tek. Featuring appearances from Talib Kweli, Sunz of Man, Reflection Eternal, and more, the release captures a pivotal era of raw independent hip hop.
