Grandmaster Caz Wildstyle Subway Rap (Chrysalis) 1983

Taken from the film soundtrack 'Wildstyle' this is yet another rap tune with conscious lyrics. It seems that rappers used to be a lot more socially aware and people had real things to say in these days. Shame it's all gone down the toilet with the bling nonsense..

West Street Mob Break Dancin' Electric Boogie (Sugarhill) 1983

A classic on the Sugarhill label from 1983. Plenty of early scratchin' and cuttin' on here with the killer breakbeat 'Apache' Marvellous stuff.

Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five The Message (Sugarhill) 1982

Another great rap record with social commentary and conscious lyrics. Like many of these kind of records, the message (no pun intended) rings very true today. This is an absolute classic.

Hashim Al-Naafiysh (The Soul) (Cutting Records) 1983

I absolutely LOVE this record. It's fantastic. Simple as that. This defines the Electro sound for me. I can honestly say there's nothing I don't like about this tune....the eerie synth sound really does it, along with the squelchy bass and classic drum machine era beats. STONECOLD CLASSIC, go buy a reissue..
