Island Records documented the intersection of funk, post-punk, and early hip-hop through this release. The songs rely on heavy, danceable basslines to carry the momentum.
Lighthearted, chant-like vocals provide the melody for the tracks. The result is an infectious collection of music that highlights the downtown New York scene of that period, emphasizing fun over traditional studio structure.
