 Notes  
     The six-man Crash Crew recorded a few old school anthems, one of
     which ("High Powered Rap") was released before Grandmaster Flash
     found a hit with the same jam (as "Freedom"). Based in Harlem's
     Lincoln Projects, the collective was formed by high-school friends
     E.K. Mike C, Reggie Reg (Reginald Payne), La Shubee, Barry Bistro,
     G-Man, and DJ Darryl C (Darryl Calloway).
     Beginning around 1977, gigs at block parties and Harlem's Club 197
     gave them experience, and E.K. Mike C's studio connection gave them
     a chance to record much earlier than most other rappers. Borrowing
     from the funk track "Get up and Dance" by Freedom, Crash Crew
     recorded a short demo named "High Powered Rap" and sold the
     self-released single to fans at shows.
     Time hasn't recorded whether Sugar Hill got the idea for a new
     recording based on the song from Crash Crew or some other source,
     but regardless, the first national hit for Grandmaster Flash & the
     Furious Five was 1980's "Freedom," based on the same song. The
     group's first release on Sugar Hill, the single reached the R&B
     charts - it was indeed far superior to Crash Crew's version - and
     caused some enmity between the two acts.
     Here's The Crash Crew's "The Crash Crew Is Back" produced by Teddy
     Riley and originally recorded in 1987. B-side features DJ Small (The
     Son Of Hollywood) and "Summer Fun" originally recorded in 1981.
     Enjoy!
