DESCRIPTION:
For RSD 2024 - Classic Hip Hop Pressed on 7" - KRS-One and his original band Boogie down Productions are amongst a small collective of genre-making, scene building pioneers of this thing we call Hip Hop, and Poetry and 9mm are amongst 2 of their early works of wonder. The 1987 jam 'Poetry' famously became the beat basis and was sampled (twice!) in MF Doom's 'Doomsday', of which original copies change hands for £200+. It’s flipped by the earlier monster 'My 9mm Goes Bang', which along with tracks by Schooly D and Ice T, can be seen as an early foray into gangster rap, albeit it, from that NYC angle. Original mixes are remastered for 2024, all housed the legendary B-Boy labels and sleeves.

Boogie Down Productions (BDP) was an American hip-hop group formed in the Bronx, New York City, in 1986. The original lineup included KRS-One, D-Nice, and DJ Scott La Rock. Their debut album “Criminal Minded” was released in 1987 and presented themes reflecting social conditions in the South Bronx at the time. DJ Scott La Rock was killed later that year on August 27. The group name references a nickname for the South Bronx, known as the “Boogie Down.”
Boogie Down Productions is noted for helping to introduce elements of dancehall reggae into hip-hop and for its influence on the development of socially conscious rap.
