2001: Pure Throwback Energy

2001 was pure fire! So Solid, Alicia, Busta, Mis-Teeq, Destiny’s Child, JAY-Z and more bring iconic energy to this all-killer, no-filler throwback mix.

We’re throwing it back to 2001 — a year of pure bangers and unforgettable vibes.

So Solid Crew, Mis-Teeq and Teplon rep the UKG wave, while Busta Rhymes, JAY-Z, Q-Tip and M.O.P. bring the bars. Alicia Keys, Jill Scott, Mya and Christina Milian bring the soul, with Janet and MJ on pop legend duty. Timbaland and Magoo bring the bounce, Destiny’s Child are in full command, and every track still hits.
