The debut studio album of American hip hop group Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, originally released in October 1982 on Sugar Hill Records and featuring arguably the most i nfluential 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.
