    One of the illest one-hit wonders in Hip Hop history. A stone cold classic in the UK.

    🎉I remember going all the way to Holborn London to buy this record! I clutched it with both hands all the way home. Owning this record was such a proud moment for me. To have a copy of this incredible literary and vocal hip hop masterpiece gives the same feeling as owning a huge lump of precious gold! ❤

      I wasn't there... But this hasn't aged.
      It doesn't even sound "old" productionally.
      That funk guitar is dangerous.

      @@forcedtohaveahandle And Uptown from this track as well. They took all the publishing from this track and he (real name Raie Dacosta) understandably fell out with them. They then shelved him for the remainder of his deal and he was unable to record with any other label at that time when he was at his peak. One of the reasons he only had this one hit. Undoubtedly he would have had more but Tommy Boy stitched him up!

      @@leerog1 I miss them days. I'm 47 now, back then the scene was amazing. I think my mate brought our tickets to see KRS ONE at the Thekla from Tony's Records in 1988. London Rhyme Syndicate and She Rockers were on the same bill. Fantastic experience.
      Would jump the train from Bath, I brought many imports from that shop.
      My mates Dad at the time owned a sweet shop and he spent a fortune on records.
      One day he said to Tony I want every 45 King record available, 900 Number e.t c and he duly obliged, I never forget that time!
      I remember the Special K Cafe with the Graffiti afterwards where we went for cheese sandwiches and Lucozades and be in awe of our new imported vinyl!
      My favourite purchase ever was , Tuff Crew album Danger zone.
      I had that album on permanent rotate lol
