80s Hip-Hop: The Hits and Hidden Gems | DJ Summer Boogie

80s hip-hop had the hits everyone knows—and the songs you still wish DJs would play. In my third hip-hop video, I’m bringing together artists from across the decade for a trip through both sides of the music. You’ll hear familiar favorites alongside tracks that may not have dominated the radio but still deserve a place in the conversation. If one of these songs takes you back, tell me which one in the comments. And if there’s an 80s artist you’d love to hear in a future video, let me know! “I’m DJ Summer Boogie, and this is the music I grew up on.” Subscribe to DJ Summer Boogie for more old-school hip-hop, throwback mixes, and music history.
