Street Beat Records

This series debuted in 1986, months before the Emu SP1200 hit markets in mid-1987. These 2 things combined are the sole reasons why pre-1987 drum machine driven Hip-Hop gave way to samples/loops. Even some 1986 needle drops that appear in Hip-Hop that year originate here.

Initially, these were compiled as a way to gather all the Hip-Hop DJs battle tracks into a one-stop-shop when Hip-Hop still meant MCs were a compliment to the real attraction, the DJ.
