Anybody who knows anything about the development of hip hop in the early 80s knows cats like Spectrum City (comprised of Hank Shocklee, Keith Shocklee, and Chuck D) out in Roosevelt were making just as much noise as cats in the city. Staring in 1979 as a Long Island mobile DJ unit, Spectrum City later released one twelve inch in 1984 called "Lies/Check Out the Radio".
