"Jaded 1998 OKRU Free" has become a legendary mixtape, widely regarded as one of the best of the late 1990s. Its influence can be heard in the work of later DJs and producers, who have cited OKRU as an inspiration for their own music. The mixtape's impact extends beyond the music itself, however, as it also represents a moment in time when the boundaries between different musical genres and cultures were beginning to break down.
