I found a goldmine and now have a pretty decent obscure/backpacker collection from the mid to late 90's, a few here and there from the early 00's. Tbh I collected out of greed but I also like proving that not every youngin' doesn't know how to dig for music, whether it be crate diggin or digital diggin.

Idk if ya'll count these guys as backpacker yet since it's mostly early/mid 90's stuff, but here's what I have:

Scientifik
Blahzay Blahzay
People Without Shoes
Sleestack'z
Rough House Survivers

DJ Honda's H II (with Mos Def's "Travellin Man" and De La's "Trouble in the Water")

For the 00's I got deep into
