East Coast US rap experienced a golden age in the early 90s. The compilation CREAM, with its visuals so perfectly capturing the New York vibe of the era, features the best tracks – not necessarily the most famous, by the way – from this golden period: from Wu-Tang to Nas, via KRS-One, A Tribe Called Quest, Mobb Deep, and Big L, the essence of this East Coast sound is gathered in this compilation, which also marks the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop.
