Punk Rock Rap

Punk Rock Rap is a mix vinyl released in 1983 by Cold Crush Brothers. Released under Tuff City this mix was produced by Aaron Fuchs. 

Cold Crush Brother’s original lineup consisted of DJ Tony Tone (Angelo King, birthdate unknown), Supreme Easy AD (Adrian Harris, birthdate unknown), DJ Charlie Chase (Carlos Mandes, b. 1959), Grandmaster Caz (Curtis Brown, b. 1960), Almighty KG (Kenneth Pounder, birthdate unknown), JDL (Jerry Dee Lewis, birthdate unknown), and Money Ray (Eric Hoskins, birthdate unknown). Whipper Whip (James Whipper, b. 1962) and Dot-A-Rock were original members, but eventually, Whipper Whip and Dot-A-Rock left and joined The Fantastic Five, which they considered to be a more established group at the time. 

Soon, the group brought in Grandmaster Caz (formerly DJ Casanova Fly, Curtis Brown, b. 1961) who is known to be one of the top 50 MCs of all time and an inductee into the Technics DJ Hall of Fame and the Bronx Walk of Fame. The Cold Crush Brothers were known for their remarkable routines which included harmonies, melodies, and stage-stomping performances. The Cold Crush Brothers set the standard for emceeing. They built the reputation as the Rolling Stones of Hip Hop. Because of the attention they began to attract, many groups would try to battle them to gain Rap credibility and for Hip-Hop superiority. This would lead to a fierce and well-known rivalry with The Fantastic Five.
