Originally\u003cbr\u003ereleased on the Lafayette Afro-Rock Band’s Malik album, the track went on to become a defining hip-\u003cbr\u003ehop motif, sampled by Jay-Z, Public Enemy, Wreckx-N-Effect and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the flip, Hihache emerged as a firm favourite as hip-hop culture exploded in the 1980s. Taken\u003cbr\u003efrom the group’s iconic Soul Makossa album, its larger-than-life drum break became a foundational\u003cbr\u003esample, most famously appearing in Biz Markie’s Nobody Beats The Biz, among countless others.\u003cbr\u003eTwo essential cuts from a hugely influential group, now pressed in a strictly limited run of just 500\u003cbr\u003ecopies on black 7” vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jackpot Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67524148396250,"sku":null,"price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/5705\/3402\/files\/4062548145557-CoverArtImage1.jpg?v=1791756587","url":"https:\/\/jackpotrecords.com\/products\/lafayette-afro-rock-band-darkest-light-limited-edition-7-vinyl-pre-order-out-12-4-26","provider":"Jackpot Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
