Fab 5 Freddy Down By Law / Subway Beat

Mr Bongo

Hip-Hop

7" MRB7204£14.00
Out of stock Notify me when in stock

1. Down By Law (Kenny Dope Edit)
2. Subway Beat (Kenny Dope Edit)

As pieces of musical curation go, Kenny Dope’s reimagining and reediting of the Wild Style breakbeats is outstanding. While the music from the ‘Wild Style’ OST is truly seminal, the story behind it is even more fascinating.

Underneath the voices of important rappers from hip-hop’s first wave – Cold Crush Brothers, Double Trouble, Rammellzee, Busy Bee and more – were a selection of backing beats that have underpinned and influenced a whole lot of hip-hop ever since.
