Their unique blend of rhythms not only defined an era but also laid the groundwork for countless hip hop samples.

With its infectious beats, Bongo Rock is a cornerstone of the genre and a must-have for any vinyl record collector. This limited edition silver vinyl release is not just a record; it’s a piece of music history.
