September 17 street date. Tommy Boy reissues a limited three colour splatter vinyl edition of Afrika Bambaata & Soulsonic Force's "Planet Rock" as part of their 40th anniversary celebration.
Considered one of founding fathers of rap, Afrika Bambaataa has long been considered a revolutionary, both within the music business and beyond. Raised in the South Bronx, Afrika Bambaataa made his name as a DJ, rapper and songwriter, eventually becoming the foremost DJ, event organizer and promoter of the large block parties that rocked the neighborhood during the mid-to-late 70s. Leading into the 80's, Bambaataa had found acclaim for releasing countless genre-dening tracks, infusing Hip Hop and Electronic elements into a sound that would influence other artists for years to come. With the groundbreaking release of the Soulsonic Force assisted "Planet Rock" in 1982, Afrika Bambaataa forever cemented his place in the history books as one of the most revered and innovative artists of his time.
