2008.  What a year.  The financial meltdown.  The mortgage crisis.  Sky high gas prices.  Barack Obama.  Michelle Obama.  Sasha, Malia.  A Black President.  Black people in the white house-as residents, not staff.  Goodbye to Eartha Kitt, Bernie Mac, Issac Hayes, Sean Levert, Miriam Makeba.   Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon-yikes.  Beyonce and Jay-Z - finally.  Our personal favorite: The launch of BupGrade.  So much has transpired: like all years, a period of firsts, lasts, highs and lows.  Thank you for reading, have a happy new year, and enjoy a retrospective soundtrack to what has been an unforgettable year, by BupGrade friend, world-renown Mick Boogie and Cornerstone Promotions.  Download Best of ’08 Cornerstone Mixtape #112 here.
