Throughout this site’s existence, The Rub — the New York-based duo of DJ Ayres and DJ Eleven — has provided some of our favorite mixes for several years. Their History Of Hip Hop sets have covered everything from Queen Latifah to King T and everyone in between, providing hours upon hours of enjoyment.
The Rub has teamed with Okayplayer for a comprehensive mix of the hip hop songs which had people grooving throughout 2016. With songs from A Tribe Called Quest, Solange, Travi$ Scott and everyone in between, this mix is more tailored for those who last watched a Dick Clark New Year’s Eve Special when Dick Clark was still hosting it.
