In support for today’s digital release, enjoy the full stream of Classic Drug References Vol. 1. Some words from Sweeney Kovar below for more info:

“In 2011 I decided to create a physical incarnation of my old blog, Classic Drug References. I decided to work strictly with friends and like-minded individuals I had connected with in the years since I closed down CDR. From the mixing engineers to the beat makers to the writers to the designers, everyone was an individual I would enjoy sharing a meal with and wouldn’t mind bringing around my family (maybe not Danny on that last one). The process was as important to me as the outcome. Lucky for me, I know some pretty dope people.

So here it is: Classic Drug References. It’s meant to be an experience, it’s meant to show you something new, it’s meant to make you think a bit. Enjoy and tell a friend.”
