The streets of Harlem in the early 80's

1984 - Crash Crew

The Crash Crew came together in the Lincoln projects in Harlem back in 1977, the year after I was born.
While this record was released in 1984, what we really have here is a document of the first few Crash Crew 12" singles, which were released between 1980 and 1983 on vanity labels and also, on the famous Sugar Hill label, which issued this LP.
That's all I got in me right this second. I'll add some meat to this post later. Good night! :)

1990 drops knowledge

1990 - Holy Intellect

Another request, and another totally out of print album. This is for my good friend Jon down in Nashville, fighting the consumer hoards, and making the streets safe for the children. Poor Righteous Teachers. The name really takes you right there all by itself, doesn't it? 1990. Oh, 1990... I bet the first time I heard this I was rocking a pair of bright red denim shorts, a cross colours or Malcolm X hat: and a giant t-shirt with a Loony Toons character on it. Maybe someone said to me, "Hey man, is that the new 'Black Sheep' cassette? Shit.. you should check out these cats PRT!" and I was probably like "Wow man, these guys are fresh!" And I was right.
