This might be my favorite round so far. The 90s are a big black-hole to me as far as pop goes because I began and ended the decade deeply entrenched in college radio and the underground music scene.

It was between the two hip-hop tracks. Both are excellent. I think I know the release that spawned Track Three. It smells "collaboration" which I think this release was famous for, and almost a 90s cliche at this point (HOWEVER I could totally be wrong, and I probably am!) Now that I had a good listen, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Track three. It probably reminds me of what would happen if J Saul Kane/Depth Charge polished himself and got a big name rapper and a dose of drone rock for his arsenal. This got my #1 vote.

Track Two easily got my #2 vote.

Track One was swell. It just ended up with strong challengers. Track Four didn't do much for me.
