KURTIS BLOW / KURTIS BLOW “THE BREAKS” – LP

Remastered from the original analog tape, this LP features the hip-hop classic The Breaks and was the first hip-hop record to be certified Gold. The Breaks has often been sampled later in hip-hop records, mainly for its introduction made by Blows a cappella vocal, and for the drum break, giving a wordplay dimension to the title. Takin Care of Business is one of the first hip hop and rock n roll crossover attempts. Kurtis Blow is a rapper, singer, songwriter, recordfilm producer, Bboy, DJ, public speaker and minister. He is the first commercially successful rapper and the first to sign with a major record label.
