Reviews

While this doesn’t contain what would be called pure hip hop songs, it features many of the favorite tunes that many of the early hip hop deejays would spin and leads up to the first hip hop record by Fatback. This series is known for its excellent liner notes. I really regret not picking these up at the time.-  JohnG
