Kurtis Blow (Light Blue Limited Edition Blue)

In 1980, hip - hop found its ideal representative in Kurtis Blow, a charming Harlem college - boy who studied communication. His debut self - titled album, 'Kurtis Blow', was a game - changer. The smash single 'The Breaks' not only launched his career but also turned rap from a fleeting trend into a popular genre. It became the first Gold - certified rap song, reaching No. 87 on the Billboard Hot 100. The rest of the album showcases Kurtis's lively party raps. Tracks like 'Hard Times' focus on neglected communities, while 'All I Want in This World (Is To Find That Girl)' is a smooth romantic rap. Kurtis Blow was a pioneer, releasing an album almost every year in the early '80s. This album was a major milestone for him and for hip - hop's commercialization, leading to radio dominance for decades. To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of hip - hop, it's now available in a limited - edition light blue T6 translucent vinyl.
