Omega II - Sonic Boom - 18-Dec-06 09:46 AM
The original Sonic Boom was a shelved track by Claudio "Debonaire" Barrella. Reportedly, it was Nick "Baby Love" Salerno who took it upon himself to not only release this song on Showroom Records, but credit L. Cabrerra (Breezy Beat MC), Dynamix II, and DXJ on the label, seemingly as a marketing ploy. Debonaire has stated that this was done without his knowledge or approval.

Since then, a new school Electro group has made a version of the song confusing many who were trying to chase it down on ebay and such (you know who you are)...

Vigilante - Miami Vice - 17-Dec-06 02:35 AM
This is Bob Rosenberg's first release. Bob went on to become one of the most notable radio mix show DJ's in South Florida in the mid-80s, and perform edits for several acts including the earliest Miami releases of 2 Live Crew. It featured Derrick Rahming of the We Down Express DJ crew on cuts, who went on to form Afro-Rican. The track was produced by Lewis Martinez aka Lewis A. Martineé, the man behind the top 40 Freestyle act Expose`. Bob himself went on to become Will to Power, who hit as big, if not bigger, than Expose`.

Afrika Bambaataa & the Soul Sonic Force* - Planet Rock - 06-Dec-06 03:59 PM
Everyone cites the Kraftwerk melodies, but they seem to consistantly ignore that Bambaataa also had Robie replay a melody form Babe Ruth's, er, Ennio Morricone's "The Mexican" in this track too. Both Trans Europe Express and The Mexican were 70s breaks used by Bam, Flash, and other bronx breakbeat pioneers.

Paulett Winley* & Tanya Winley / Ann Winley - Rhymin' And Rappin' / Watch Dog - 25-Nov-06 03:17 AM
Freddy Fresh has cited this in his book (to much debate) as being the first Rap record. Other than his claim, Fatback's "King Tim III" is usually accepted as the first.
