Our Take

Soul Jazz Records has struck gold once again, unearthing a treasure trove of early independent hip hop and disco rap gems with Yo! Boombox. A compilation that captures the raw, unpolished energy of a burgeoning genre in its infancy, this album is a time machine back to the golden age of boomboxes, b-boy battles, and block parties.

From the funky beats of Afrika Bambaataa to the slick rhymes of Kurtis Blow, Yo! Boombox is a nostalgia trip for any fan of old school hip hop. The album perfectly encapsulates the DIY spirit of early hip hop, with lo-fi production values and infectious grooves that will have you bouncing in your seat.

Tracks like Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five's "The Message" and The Sugarhill Gang's "Rappers Delight" are essential listening for anyone interested in the roots of rap music. Meanwhile, lesser-known cuts like Treacherous Three's "Feel the Heart Beat" and The Sequence's "Funk You Up" showcase the diversity and innovation of early hip hop.

Overall, Soul Jazz Records have once again delivered a must-have collection for music lovers and hip hop historians alike. Yo! Boombox is a funky, fresh reminder of where it all began and a testament to the enduring power of the genre. So grab your boombox, pop in this album, and let the good times roll. Trust us, your ears will thank you.
