Handcrafted 2 is second in a series of compilations by Statik of Philadelphia's critically acclaimed Illvibe Collective. The mix features a flawless blend of soulful hip hop from 2005 as well as some forgotten classic gems. Also mixed in are exclusives from Hawaii’s Mushmouf and Slo-Mo (Fortilive), as well as Philadelphia’s legendary Bahamadia. "I felt it was important to showcase the element of soul that still exists in some of today’s hip-hop that's currently being marketed," said Statik during a recent interview on The Soul Controllers’ long running Decipher Radio show on 89.3fm in Washington DC. It is nearly impossible to lose interest while listening to this mix as Statik uses his impeccable taste and high skill level to bring together some of the dopest selections ever heard on the same disc. Some other artists featured on Handcrafted 2 include Kev Brown, Percee P., DJ Mitsu, Little Brother, Ty, Platinum Pied Pipers and more.
