A very rare recording of rap music pre-1979:

"Grandmaster Flash & The 4 MC's" Part 1/3

Live @ the Audubon Ballroom NYC 12/23/1978

Before they became "Grandmaster Flash & the Furious 5" there were 4 MCs and the group was known as: ""Grandmaster Flash & The 4 MCs."

This was recorded before Rahiem joined the group. Cowboy went by the name of "Keith Keith" and Scorpio was known as "Mr. Ness."
