This is an original 1983 first pressing of the iconic 12-inch single 'Beat Bop' by Rammellzee vs. K-Rob. Produced, arranged, and featuring original cover artwork by legendary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, this record is widely regarded as one of the most influential early hip-hop recordings.
This copy is a rare test pressing on Tartown Records, making it a true collector’s item. “Beat Bop” is celebrated not only for its experimental sound and pioneering approach to hip-hop but also for the striking Basquiat cover, which elevates it to a crossover treasure for music and contemporary art collectors alike as it lies at the intersection of avant-garde art and early hip-hop innovation.
