Noel Kendrick – This Neighborhood ( Broken Records 1985 ) 7" New Orleans Hip Hop
Today another special Hip Hop 45, not just dope & rare … this is possibly the first Rap Release out of New Orleans! History says that the first Nola Hip Hop Artist on Vinyl was "The Ninja Crew" (Gregory D., Sporty D & Dj Baby T.), their Song "We destroy" came out in 1986 on the Miami Label "4-Sight Records". As you can see this one here is from 1985, 1 year older … and not just a Nola Artist, also recorded and released in New Orleans! About the Song, super dope mid80s Message Rap, fresh Live Band … and outstanding Rap by 3 MC's, I have no idea who they are and if "Noel Kendrick" was one of them! In any case it's a super fresh and very collectable 45, hard to get … I don't think that many have been pressed! I recoded the full song, so check it out …. this Shit is dope!!
