 B-Boy Anthems Volume 7
available now on vinyl or CD

Back by popular demand, the 7th volume this compilation series that catalogues those rare and
obscure tracks associated with the breaking scene past and present. The tracks selected for this
album are chosen on merit and difficulty to obtain not commercial success as with some other
compilations, none of these were ever hits and would not have made much money for the artists
or labels when they were released but have since achieved cult status amongst the connoisseurs.


Side 1

1 'Girl You Ain't No Vanessa' MCEC

A beast of a tune that sounds like a Mantronics production with Robert S vocals, wicked lyrics about girls.
Don't know much about this track, not many people I've played it to have heard of it before but it's one of
the tuffest mid 80's electro tunes I've heard. This track comes courtesy of 'Ictus'. - Junk

2 'Stop Jocking Me' Busy Boys

Super tuff sounding old skool hip hop with that raw drum track that sounds like it's from one of those early
drum machines, loads of stabs, samples and dope scratching, just like a good Hip Hop track should be. - Junk

3 'Been Had' Sapo

This is a great tune for the B-Boys. It's hard to classify, this tune is sort of funk latin soul. Pass the Mr Sheen
and mind ya biznezz! - Tony The Pencil

4 Across 110th Street Bonus Breaks

This is a little re-edit of the intro from 'Across 110th Street', it's been looped over several times with some of the horn as well for double decking. - Junk

 

 

Side 2

1 'Across 110th Street' Cecil holms

70's theme soundtrack that has become an anthem amongst the new skool b-boy scene lately. Funky intro that I always feel isn't long enough, if you're quick on the decks you could double up that intro or for the lesser skilled you could use the little re-edit I've done on the other side , the intro is longer. - Junk

2 'Are we on the air' Level 4

Another classic that Mike Allen used to play, what a record. This was later sampled by 'Audio Two' on an
equally dope record. - Tony The Pencil

3 'Black Grass' Bad Bascombe

I just remember hearing this on the 'History Of Hip Hop' video and seeing 'Icy Ice' from the 'New York City
Breakers' doing his dope footwork in the 'Funhouse'. Unroll that lino! - Tony The Pencil

4 'Imperial Scratch' Boys Next Door

Another Mike Allen gem, totally elusive on original vinyl, been after it for years. Starts with an organ intro that sounds like something by Bach, wicked rap about a topic often rapped about - scratching and it has lots in it as well. That organ comes back now and then to add some atmosphere. - Junk.

5 Black Grass Bonus Breaks

This is the break from 'Black Grass' looped up for turntable doubling, there are variations to the stab at the start
of the break, some just the stab, others with a bit of the music before the stab. This enables the d.j.to cut up
different bits as with the original but giving more time to cue the other deck before the break runs out.
