GET-58008 K-Rob & Rammellzee - Beat Bop Record Carrying Case

Only a reputed 500 of the song’s initial run, on Jean-Michel Basquiat’s one-off Tartown Records label, were made with jacket cover art by the infinitely influential graphic artist (and moonlighting musician and producer). They remain one of hip-hop’s “Holy Grail” items, selling north of $1,500 if you can even find one. The audio, which clocked in at over 10 minutes, was issued – with no picture sleeve – on Profile Records soon after the Tartown pressings, and went on to influence countless MCs, with its minimal, languishing funk beat (produced by Basquiat) and Rammellzee’s and K-Rob’s next-level lyricism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The picture sleeve version of the release has – until late last year – never been officially re-issued. For this edition, Get On Down has officially licensed the original artwork directly from the Basquiat estate and included a four-panel folded insert with in-depth background on the original single’s creation. Compiled by Andrew “Noz” Nosnitsky, the insert includes interviews with many of the artists involved in the song’s production: Rammellzee, K-Rob, Glenn O’Brien, percussionist Al Diaz, Profile’s Cory Robbins and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jean-Michel Basquiat passed away in 1988 and Rammellzee left this Earth in 2010. With this Record Box, Get On Down celebrates and remembers Basquiat’s important contributions to the formative years of hip-hop, visually and on wax.
