Animal Records, founded by Chris Stein of Blondie, released only one album in its brief early-80s existence, but what an album. Wild Style remains a foundational hip-hop soundtrack, a snapshot of the scene as it evolved from the streets to the studio, and a genuinely great listen besides. The lineup is a who's who of the block-party era: Double Trouble (Rodney Cee and KK Rockwell), Busy Bee, The Cold Crush Brothers, and The Fantastic Freaks, over rough, glorious tracks co-produced by Chris Stein and Fab Five Freddy. The Charlie Chase and Grand Wizard Theodore scratches and indelible rhymes have become hip-hop touchstones, endlessly sampled and referenced. Presented here in a Mr Bongo reissue with the original artwork, it remains the blueprint.
