With Chuck D and Public Enemy (deservingly) in the headlines regularly again—for a litany of reasons, let’s take a sec to look back. When it comes to the production collective known as The Bomb Squad (Hank & Keith Shocklee, Eric “Vietnam” Sadler, the oft-uncredited Johnny Juice, G-Wiz, and Chuck D) Bachir did just that.

Bomb Squad Cassette Tape locks in on 17 tracks that the collective was a part of, but goes a little deeper than the hits, or just the P.E. discography. Instead, this tape-themed mix includes pre-P.E. Chuck D, as Spectrum City, it includes Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, and 3rd Bass, and it also includes non-Hip-Hop stars Aaron Hall and Peter Gabriel. Listen, and download if you like:
