Rhino's first attempt at archiving old-school rap of the early '80s, Street Jams: Hip-Hop From the Top, Vol. 1 succeeds by balancing a few undeniable classics (tracks that everyone should have in their collection) with more obscure inclusions that fanatics will appreciate as well. The classics on this debut volume are "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang, "The Breaks" by Kurtis Blow, "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, and "Friends" by Whodini. Alongside these are some great obscurities that many rap fans had only heard of, including "One for the Treble (Fresh)" by Davy DMX, "Adventures of Super Rhyme" by Jimmy Spicer, and "Request Line" by Rock Master Scott. Though it misses a few crucial artists (Spoonie Gee, Funky Four Plus One, the Treacherous Three) and it would've been better to lean closer to the classics than the rarities, Street Jams: Hip-Hop From the Top, Vol. 1 is an excellent collection of early rap. ~ John BushRolling Stone (3/19/92, p.93) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "..collects a wide variety of old-school greatest hits...lost treasures.."

Both of Bobby Hebb's big 1966 hits, "Sunny" and "A Satisfied Mind" are featured on this album.
Produced by Jerry Ross and arranged by Joe Renzetti, "Sunny" emerged from a twelve-song disc released on the Phillips label, a division of Mercury records. Although Bobby Hebb is known as "the song a day man," he only composed three of the dozen titles included on this collection. The title track, of course, which was the song of the summer of 1966, "Yes or No or Maybe Not," and "Crazy Baby." The follow-up, "A Satisfied Mind," was also a Top 40 hit that year, but it wasn't until 1971, when Lou Rawls had a Top 20 hit with "Natural Man," did Hebb get another smash. A pity, and a definite statement about the music industry when a man as prolific and talented as Robert Von Hebb constructs and delivers pop tunes with a voice and feeling that crosses genres and ethnic boundaries. Kal Rudman himself penned the liner notes on the back of the disc (at the time he was R&B ...

Over 30 years after the fall of Saigon, emcee Nam rises with a mission to give a long-overdue voice to his people\'s remarkable survival and endurance. Born and bred in Seattle\'s south end to parents who fled wartorn Vietnam in the 1980s, Nam is a storyteller survivor by blood and experience, transforming trauma into tracks that don\'t easily fit into neat little boxes.Underground, mainstream, conscious, street - whatever you call it, there\'s no denying that it\'s honest music. And that honesty can come with a smile or a stomp, depending on his mood. With a distinct voice textured with urgency and wisdom beyond his 22 years, no bars are wasted when Nam spits. Onstage, he\'s a beast with a commanding presence mixed with a humble stride.In a rap game run by entertainment profiteers who romanticize hood life, Nam arrives not to reject, but to inject reality where those fantasies dominate. Raised in the shadow of the ...
