including Crucial Vinyl from A Tribe Called Quest

The Don crosses time, space and genre, plus he declares A Tribe Called Quest's album People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm to be his Crucial Vinyl.

Tunes that cross time, space and genre, and if you're wondering what's the connection, they're just all Don Letts selections.

The Don also chooses another much-loved album from his collection and dubs it 'Crucial Vinyl'. This week it's People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, released in 1990 by pioneering New York hip hop band A Tribe Called Quest.

Don says, "This bona-fide hip-hop classic initially got mixed revues due to its more chilled vibe - complete with a mix of humorous, quirky, yet intelligent, lyrics. But that's also exactly what attracted a devout and sizable fan base - people who where looking for something else in hip-hop - and the Quest didn't let 'em down, as they went to release at least two more classic albums.".
