Greatest Hits
Release date: 2021
Hip Hop is rich… with so many fans who are Musicians, Artists, Rappers and Poets.
All of them partake, they all have stories, they all have a flow… they all FEEL it!
For the deep collector of early Hip-Hop & Rap… this essential collection, from one of Downtown New York City’s originals, is full of the passion and energy possessed by so many who grew up during Rap’s Golden Age of the 70’s & 80’s.
From the hyped “Espresso” tracks to his “Hands Up” Anthem of keeping it together through life’s struggles… Booty T. stays true to the game.
Energetic & easily digested… Turn it up!
