Soul Jazz Records Presents YO! BOOMBOX - Early Independent Hip Hop, Electro And Disco Rap 1979-83
Boomkat Product Review:
Foundational disco, rap and electro from the crucible of New York City’s Bronx and Harlem, cooked up during an eternally pivotal era and now compiled via Soul Jazz.
While sounding a million miles from modern rap, ‘Yo! Boombox’ charts its very earliest roots when spinners such as Kool DJ Herc and Grandmaster Flash sowed the seeds of its collage style, chopping funk breaks, disco basslines and horny vamps into pure block party fuel, ready to to be toasted and rapped by the earliest microphone innovators.
It’s a phase of music that has been endlessly covered in documentaries and articles over the intervening decades, to the point that it’s actually a turn-off for many youngers who struggle to hear its links to the sorts of ‘90s gangster and southern rap styles that more clearly underline contemporary rap iterations, but nevertheless, it’s a deeply charming era abundant with party-ready anthems.
