Agit-rap?
From fairly early on in the life of Hip hop, this one has a real go-go feel to it.
Possibly outta Washington. Possibly not. From 1983, featuring a gruff-voiced
jazzy kinda guy who from all accounts did very little else of note during his
criminally underground recording career. Not to be confused with Don Banks, the
Aussie dude, an actual jazz guy. But then you probably wouldn’t have made that
connection anyway. One of them is clearly black. I loved this track for about a
year after it turned up on a much loved mixtape circa 1986. And yes kids,
that’s an actual mixtape of the antique cassette variety. Ask your Mum. Here’s
10 minutes of agitagogoprotohoprap from a funky guy with a fairly large chip on
his shoulder:
