SIDE A MIX 1: KICKIN' Freestyle Mix
MIXED BY: Dr. Dre
LENGTH: 04:27
GENRE: Hip Hop
COMMENTS: From 1985 onwards Dre created a short megamix at the start of his tapes that contained a few of the tracks on the main mixes along with many others. The tapes were worth buying for these megamixes alone in my opinion.
