Blowfly hits the hip hop era – and does a surprisingly nice job of it! The track's got a compressed kickback groove – and while Blow's not the best MC in the world, the style of the cut is certainly a nice way to freshen up his raunchy party sound. Plus, the x-rated version includes a ... (Soul, Hip Hop) read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
