Product Description
Contents: The second phase of the Golden Age Hip Hop Masterpiece Series features 10 carefully selected titles in a straight reissue! The "Golden Age Hip Hop" is considered the golden age of hip hop history, spanning the late 1980s to the early 1990s, a period centered around the NY/Brooklyn scene, bridging the gap between old school and new school. Known in Japan as the "Middle School" era, this period saw a shift in hip hop sound, with backing tracks primarily incorporating samples from soul, jazz, and funk, and lyrics addressing social issues. Many important works were released during this time that profoundly influenced the evolution of hip hop after the old school era. The highly anticipated "Golden Age Hip Hop Masterpiece Series" has begun, archiving numerous masterpieces from indie labels that released some of the most cutting-edge sounds of the time, including B-BOY RECORDS, home to Boogie Down Productions (which launched KRS-One), FRESH RECORDS, which brought EPMD and Nice & Smooth into the majors, and IDLERS, which debuted Jungle Brothers!
