DJs Hype, Pascal &amp; Zinc between them amassed a huge amount of THE best Jump Up tunes between 1995 to 2002. Whether united as the Ganja Kru, or producing under their separate identities, the Tru Playaz label always represented firing beats, funky riffs, hip-hop samples and always mashed together with a phat Jump Up bass line.<\/p>\n<p>Their massive output over this time is amazing considering how high they kept the quality of the music. Albums like Still Smoking, Real Vibes and Playaz4Real offered great value because they always contained way more hits than misses on them, and the string of great EPs on True Playaz is too long to list here.<\/p>\n<p>I think Jump Up today has lost it a bit. Making the as track loud and\u00a0noisy\u00a0as possible seems more important that making it funky, and the fun and the good vibe seems to be lacking. But during the golden age of Jump Up, this label really did live up to it&#8217;s name and was a True Playa.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/wozowski.com\/mixes\/Tru_To_Form_Woz.mp3\">2hrs of Jump Up classics from the True masters<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>DJ Zinc &#8211; The Source<br \/>\nDJ Hype &#8211; True Playa&#8217;z Anthem<br \/>\nDJ Zinc &#8211; Super Sharp Shooter (Short &amp; Sharp Version)<br \/>\nDJ Zinc &#8211; Fugees or Not<br \/>\nGanja Kru &#8211; Magic<br \/>\nGanja Kru &#8211; Plague That Never Ends<br \/>\nGanja Kru &#8211; Forbidden Fruit<br \/>\nDJ Nut Nut &#8211; The Finest<br \/>\nGanja Kru &#8211; Science<br \/>\nDJ Hype &#8211; Closer To God<br \/>\nDJ Hype &#8211; Only One Life (Ganja Kru Remix)<br \/>\nDJ Hype &#8211; Musically Dope (Ganja Kru Remix)<br \/>\nFreestyles &#8211; Come Back<br \/>\nPascal &#8211; P-Funk 2000<br \/>\nFreestyle &#8211; God Intendend<br \/>\nGanja Kru &#8211; You Belong To Me<br \/>\nPascal &#8211; Rollplay<br \/>\nDJ Red &#8211; Everything Has Changed (Remix)<br \/>\nPascal &#8211; Keep It Real<br \/>\nFellowship &#8211; Dark Flower Remedy<br \/>\nDJ Zinc &#8211; Casino Royal<br \/>\nDJ Hype &#8211; Help Me<br \/>\nDJ Hype &#8211; Dead A&#8217;s<br \/>\nDJ Zinc &#8211; Reach Out (Remix)<br \/>\nDJ Zinc &#8211; Ska<br \/>\nDJ Zinc &#8211; Pitcher<br \/>\nThe Outfit &#8211; Cleancut<br \/>\nDJ Zinc &#8211; Freenote<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the labels I have invested the most time &amp; money into down the years is True Playaz.
