Description

For the first time ever, the classic cuts on this compilation are being released on Zoetrope vinyl and now include a brand-new remix of ‘Rapper’s Delight,’ the biggest-selling track in The Sugarhill Gang’s history. Universally hailed as one of the most influential hip-hop songs of all time, the storytelling sound and killer groove broke new ground by bringing rap to mainstream audiences and shaping the genre’s future. Its rhythmic flow and Chic-inspired low-end inspired generations of artists from Jay-Z and Nas to Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Run-D.M.C. It is truly the foundation of modern hip-hop culture and still a banger.
