Kurtis Blow

Get ready for a hip - hop classic! Kurtis Blow's 1980 self - titled debut album is now re - released on vinyl. Remastered from the original analog tape, this LP features the iconic hip - hop track 'The Breaks', the first hip - hop record to earn Gold certification. 'The Breaks' is well - known for its sampled a cappella intro and drum break, adding a clever wordplay to the title. 'Takin' Care of Business' was one of the earliest attempts at a hip - hop and rock 'n' roll crossover. Kurtis Blow, a multi - talented artist as a rapper, singer, songwriter, and more, was the first commercially successful rapper and the first to sign with a major label. This vinyl is a must - have for any hip - hop fan.

Using this vinyl album is easy. Just place it on your record player, gently drop the needle on the groove, and enjoy the hip - hop sounds. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on the surface. Store the album in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. When not in use, keep it in its protective sleeve to prevent scratches. And always handle the record by the edges to avoid damaging the playing surface.
