Pre-Hip Hop Rap by Pigmeat Markham

Pigmeat Markham may not have been given his due on documentaries about the birth of Hip Hop in The Bronx, however, this Bronx performer predates the official genre’s commercially released medium by over a decade on his 1968 “Here Comes The Judge” 45 record. Beyond actually rapping to a minimalistic boom-bap beat, he also refers to himself as “hip.” Don’t sleep on Pigmeat.
