This is a hip hop classic from a bygone era. JVC Force out of Long Island, New York released the single "Strong Island" in 1987 using 3 essential elements, which I will list the youtube tracks to. To anyone who was into hip hop during the so-called golden era, this is one of the most essential tracks, but to the casual fan, this song may have fallen under the radar.
I've always loved that song and when I heard the original sample sources, it just demonstrated how simple-yet-effective hip hop was at taking something classic and reconstructing it in a new and exciting way.
