This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will do a review on the single called New Born Leader / Let The Horns Blow which was by San Antonio, Texas first Hip Hop/Rap group called 2 Hard 2 Hype with RCR from 1988.
2 Hard 2 Hype was the first Hip Hop/Rap group out of San Antonio, Texas that predated P.K.O. (Poundz Ki'z Ozeez) by a couple of years or so. 2 Hard 2 Hype was formed in 1987 when the Texas Hip Hop/Rap scene was just getting started with the creation and formation of their own music pillars of formation with groups such as Nemesis (Somethin' Fresh aka Something Fresh), Ghetto Boys (now Geto Boys), Bad Mutha Goose, New Def'nition, and Project Crew (ATX) along with many others.
Anyway 2 Hard 2 Hype was the first Hip Hop/Rap group out of San Antonio, Texas to have singles on vinyl pressed up! Only 20 copies of their vinyl single were ever pressed up for JP Productions as the group 2 Hard 2 Hype was a local deal in SA. J.P. Moore owned JP Productions.
2 Hard 2 Hype did a song on the A side called New Born Leader. New Born Leader was a well known hit in San Antonio at the time. New Born Leader has a fresh 80s hip hop sound full of cuts and scratches. The hip hop beat is very much uptempo. The dub instrumental is just as dope as the original song.
Now RCR was another Hip Hop/Rap group from San Antonio, Texas as was 2 Hard 2 Hype. RCR predated P.K.O. as well too. They did a song on the B side called Let The Horns Blow. Now Let The Horns Blow was a selection of horn synths mixed into funk.
I rate this single, New Born Leader/Let The Horns, 5/5*****!
