"Hailing from Hollis Queens (and well influenced by their neighbors, RUN-DMC), Lord Black, the Ruler Master Rock, and Ron Scratch released their first single Hard Rap on Next Plateau in 1986 under the name the Vicious Four. Released during the emergence of the 'new school' where samplers and drum machines such as the Lynn Drum and the SP-12 hit the market, producers and hip-hop artists were better able to create a less expensive and more complex structure to tracks that wasn't previously available without having connections or a backing band. The era of loop heavy samples and drum breaks were upon us. Get On Down in conjunction with Sony Music presents this dusty gem repackaged with an extended booklet featuring vintage never seen-promo photography, the first interview with all 3 members in over 20 years, a reprint of vintage HHC magazine cover story feature and Testimonial quotes from likes of Russell Simmons, Tragedy Khadafi and Uncle Ralph McDaniels."
