Giant Single: Profile Records Rap Anthology

Giant Single: Profile Records Rap Anthology

0 - Default Title
Description
Profile’s two young founders were products of the disco boom. Cory Robbins and Steve Plotnicki, first met in 1979 when Robbins released a Plotnicki-penned disco song, “Love Insurance”, on Panorama, a small imprint that Robbins ran for MCA Music Publishing. The idea behind Profile Records was to release dance singles, perhaps not the best business plan for the post-disco apocalypse. However, over the course of the next twenty years, with signings like Run DMC, Dana Dane, Rob Base & D.J. EZ Rock and Poor Righteous Teachers, Profile Records would become one of the biggest & most respected hip hop labels in the world. Giant Single is the most comprehensive rap compilation of this storied hip-hop label, featuring the biggest Profile singles including “Walk This Way” (Run DMC with Aerosmith), “It Takes Two” (Rob Base/DJ E-Z rocks), and “Genius Rap” (Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde). The 2CDs come packaged with new liner notes by Dan Charnas (author of critically acclaimed The Big Payback: The History of the Business of Hip Hop ).
