Soul Jazz Records’ new ‘Boombox 3’ continues their story of the first rap records to be put onto vinyl. It is a jam-packed collection of original independent old school hip hop, created with just one thing in mind - to get this party jumping. After the explosion of hip hop in the parks and clubs of The Bronx in the mid-1970s, it was in Harlem where the first rap records emerged at the end of 1979 - an avalanche of superb rap tracks released on small independent labels all trying to capitalize on the success of ‘Rapper’s Delight’.

Soul Jazz Records' new 'Boombox' features some of the many innovative underground first-wave of rap records made in New York in the period 1979-82, all released on small, independent, often family-concern record companies, at a time when hip-hop music still remained under the radar.

For the very first time, this is a monumental 4 CD Set, 72 track collection of timeless HIP-HOP legends, strictly representing The Golden Era… Covering 1979-1999, this was an important era when quality HIP-HOP was centred around the very greatest acts at the top of their game. Taking lyricism to a whole new level, the undisputed masters are all present and correct - from the mighty Chuck D of Public Enemy, Rakim, KRS-One of BDP, LL, Biggie, Nas, Q-Tip of Tribe, Big Daddy Kane, Method Man from The Wu, Snoop Dogg, Kool G Rap (featured here on Heavy D’s classic posse cut), Ice Cube, Redman, Queen Latifah and Busta Rhymes - to lesser known but equally gifted rap talents such as AZ, Jeru The Damaja, Chubb Rock and Kool Keith of the Ultramagnetic MC’s.

You name it, they are on this superb compilation of trip hop vibes featuring Aim; Stephen Jones, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Parov Stelar etc.
