Dj Pookey Blow?.. yeah i have why?

There's some new reissue of Conneticut area hiphop from 1979-1983, and I never heard of any of these people until this compilation, except for Rappermatical 5 and of course Mr. Magic.



"Rappin' With Mr. Magic" Mister Magic 9:11
"Get Up (And Go to School)" Pookey Blow 6:14
"Potential 1980" Mister Magic 9:53
"Party People [Remix]" Rappermatical Five 6:49
"Million Dollar Legs" Outlaw Four 5:37
"2001 Kazoo's" Positive Choice Band 6:48
"Be-Bop Convention Theme" Forum Band 2:30
"Shake Your Boody" Chillie Three MCs 4:54
"Fill the Be-Bop" LOD Crew 4:54
"Earth Break" Mister Magic & Pookey Blow 5:33
"Ventriloquist Rap" Willie Brown & Woodie 3:27
"I Just Wanna Dance" Cuzz Band 3:23

I was just reminded cuz "Get Up And Go To School" was based on Dance To The Drummer's Beat.

Yes, yes. Arrested Development used that in "Fishin' for religion" back in '93 and i've loved it ever since.
