The Message (Expanded)
More Info
Debut studio album by the legendary American hip-hop group, originally released in October 1982 on Sugar Hill Records and featuring arguably the most influential hip-hop single of all time in 'The Message', together with 'Scorpio' - one of the greatest electro recordings ever produced. A gritty, plain-spoken and vividly cinematic portrait of black street life in New York circa '82 and a fascinating time capsule of rap's early attempts with the album format - this album earned respect on its own terms.
