By summer '86, hip-hop had a massive underground following, but still needed a gimmick to crossover into the mainstream.
Lovebug Starski worked with Kurtis Blow on this top 20 seller, a mashup of samples and spooky noises around a quality rap and memorable beat.
Starski coined the name «hip-hop»; he died in 2018.
From the 1986 album "House Rocker".
