A Guy Called Gerald drops this rather splendid Bboy 80′s Hip Hop Mix as his tribute to DJ Kool Herc.

I have been listening to this on and off for the last few weeks. Wasn’t sure weather or not to post it as its not Ghetto Funk but it is history. A very important time in history, this era has had so much influence on what we do now and Kool Herc was the pioneer. So here it is..

“The music from my teens. A tribute to Kool DJ Herc. He was a young Jamaican American and he just wanted to throw a party. His uncle had given him the best sound system in the neighborhood, yet he had no venue to play at and he was broke. What Kool Herc chose to do could have been done anywhere, but because it happened in New York, he forever changed the world. Kool Herc brought the party to the people and set up his sound in the streets.” – A Guy Called Gerald
