Roots of Rap: The 12 Inch Singles, Vol. 1
Date undefinedCelluloid Records (thanks to Bill Laswell) stands for tunes like Grandmixer DST's "(The Bronx) The Home Of Hip Hop", Time Zone's "The Wildstyle", Fab Five Freddy & Bee Side's "Change The Beat" (sample: ahhhhhh...this stuff is really fresh), Futura 2000's (of Aerosol art fame) "Escapades Rap" (backed by The Clash) or Aerosol artist and Futura's companion Phase II's "The Roxy" (the legendary B-boy club). All these cuts are worth your hard-earned money for sure as this CD is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL and pure HISTORY. It's also part of early HipHop underground. Go ahead folks and do the maths of wayback. A must have. True.
