Nothing but throwbacks

No theme, no skips — just pure throwback heat. Bangers from Mary J. Blige, Soulja Boy, Ludacris, Destiny’s Child, The Notorious B.I.G. and more.

This week on 1Xtra’s Throwback Thursday, it’s all killer, no filler — just straight-up R&B, hip-hop and UKG classics. TLC, Destiny’s Child, Ciara and Mary J. Blige bring the vocals. JME, Wretch 32, Lil Wayne and The Notorious B.I.G. bring the bars. Throw in Fatman Scoop’s chaos, T2’s UKG bounce and smooth heat from Lloyd, Static Major and Soulja Boy — and you’ve got one serious playlist.
