Vintage Diversity is a journalistic mixtape project which exposes the music and stories behind unheralded artists who were way cool, way before their time. Listen to exclusive mixes of this incredible artists by J Boogie, as our staff writers take you on a biographic journey back in time.

Donald Byrd has been a huge influence to myself and several other DJs and producers in the game since the Blue Note era. He was one of the first to bridge the gab between jazz, funk, soul and hip hop over several generations. Sampled by everybody from Black Moon to J Dilla, Gangstarr to Pharcyde, Donald Byrd, The Blackbyrds and the 125th Street NYC all created the building blocks of hip hop. I have a soft spot in my heart for both the heady jazz side of Byrd, as well as the funky disco boogie bizness. Enjoy a trip through the amazing land of the Black Byrd.
