In this episode of Sound Obsession Kirk Degiorgio takes us on a trip down memory lane to when fresh was the style, plus the word to say. Back in the late 1970s and early '80s, when it was all about the DJ and fly attire, MC-ing slowly grew into a proper artform in its own right. Kirk guides us through the seminal work of the true pioneers of early rap music, featuring the likes of DJ heroes Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash or Mr. Magic, and MC forefathers like Spoonie Gee, Sugarhill Gang or Funky Four Plus One.
