Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five were a pioneering hip hop group formed in the South Bronx, New York City. Known for innovative DJ techniques and socially conscious lyrics. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
This compilation album features some of the most influential hip-hop single of all time in “The Message”, together with “Scorpio” - one of the greatest electro recordings ever produced.
A gritty, plain-spoken and vividly cinematic portrait of black street life in New York circa ‘82 and a fascinating time capsule of rap's early attempts with the album format - this album earned respect on its own terms.
