The Original Jazzy Jay
Strong City Records, NYC
When it comes to the foundations of hip hop, Jazzy Jay certainly laid a couple of hefty cornerstones. A disciple of Afrika Bambaataa, Jazzy started out as a DJ in the Bronx, bringing the new sound to the New York masses, before he joined the team of Bam and Arthur Baker cold chillin' in the studio. They captured plenty of funky sensations on tape, one track being the pioneering 'Planet Rock', which proved a hit among astronauts and robots alike. Since then, Jazzy helped found Def Jam records in the '80s with Rick Rubin, working alongside Public Enemy, LL Cool J, and the Beastie Boys, before setting up his own studio and helping groups like Brand Nubian, A Tribe Called Quest and Fat Joe to launch their careers. Jazzy Jay is the final word in hip hop DJing, and production.
