Originallyreleased on the Lafayette Afro-Rock Band's Malik album, the track went on to become a defining hip-hop motif, sampled by Jay-Z, Public Enemy, Wreckx-N-Effect and many more.On the flip, Hihache emerged as a firm favourite as hip-hop culture exploded in the 1980s. Takenfrom the group's iconic Soul Makossa album, it's larger-than-life drum break became a foundationalsample, most famously appearing in Biz Markie's Nobody Beats The Biz, among countless others.Two essential cuts from a hugely influential group, now pressed in a strictly limited run of just 500copies on black 7' vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 A.
