Rammellzee has a mythical place in hip hop history as one of the original MC's/artists/everything man to create a character for himself, much like MF Doom has done today, coining the term "Gothic Futurism" to describe his "advanced styles". He also contributed to one of the most storied recording sessions in hip hop history by collaborating with Jean-Michel Basquiat, Fab 5 Freddy and K-Rob on the 1983 release "Beat Bop.
This was an era when all of these guys were at the top of their game and monsters of the burgeoning hip hop culture and art movements. The meeting of minds on this 12" makes it a crown jewel of vinyl collector's and while you may never get one, you can listen to it below or read about it on
wikipedia.
