Various – Boombox 2 (Early Independent Hip Hop, Electro And Disco Rap 1979-83) (3xLP)

This is exactly where the second part of the "Boombox" series starts. The compilation follows the break that African-American pioneer DJs like Kool Herc, DJ Hollywood, Grandmaster Flash, Eddie Cheba and Afrika Bambaataa had made in the seventies with two turntables and breakbeats into the original jungle of disco, soul, blues and R'n 'B and presents acts of the second wave with Paul Winley, Peter Brown and Joe Robinson. They were among the first hip-hop artists to go into the studio and record their raps on vinyl

As is typical for soul jazz, the release is accompanied by a rich booklet with extensive and exclusive context material.
