Rammellzee & K-Rob - Beat Bop 12"

(Tartown Record Co. – [TT001], 1983) [USA]

A 12" single with a vocal track and instrumental track of Rammellzee & K-Rob's "Beat Bop" from 1983. What many have called 'the first battle rap' record. This is an interesting artifact, it was produced and arranged by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Basquiat made the beat that they rap over (as well as, obviously, the artwork for the cover).
