Afrika Bambaataa, one of hip-hop's progenitors, was known as a talented DJ before his single "Planet Rock" came out in 1982 on Tommy Boy.

The Bambaataa-led group featured Mr. Biggs, Pow Wow, and MC G.L.O.B.E. The CD features "Planet Rock", "Looking For The Perfect Beat" and "Renegades Of Funk" plus other Bambaataa songs.

More ass-shaking artifacts from the early-'80s dawn of electro, hip-hop, and freestyle. This might be the least distinct disc in the set, but in such great company, that's hardly a put-down. Of all the volumes, number 3 hews closest to the strictures of the compilation's subtitle, "New York Electro Hip-Hop + Underground Dance Classics, 1980-1985," though Heaven 17's "Let Me Go" came out of England and was in no sense underground.
