The mixtape that you WATCH — West Coast hip-hop history in raw, unfiltered pixels.
Released when the mixtape game was just starting to go digital, and the hand-to-hand hip-hop DVD-R market was huge in giving artists a direct visual connection with their fans, Toones’ It’s a CT Experience was the first visual mixtape of its kind, offering a complete, watchable counterpart to the music. Other artists have done the “every track on my album gets a music video” treatment, but Toones captures the exciting vibrancy of the mixtape medium and translates it to the screen in a way nobody’s really done before or since.
