Stone Cold Rhymin'

2018 Reissue! Earning his stripes as a collaborator with Tone-L?c on the hit "Wild Thing" and the follow-up smash "Funky Cold Medina," Young MC was on a roll when he stepped out on his own later in 1989. The young star released a solo Top 10 single, "Bust A Move," which won him a Grammy® Award for Best Rap Performance and helped his debut album, Stone Cold Rhymin', achieve platinum status. In many ways, Stone Cold Rhymin' is a sister album to L?c-ed After Dark. Both feature Delicious cofounders Matt Dike and Mike Ross producing with the Dust Brothers, chopping and arranging samples. And both were engineered by Mario Caldato, Jr.-"Mario C" as he is known to fans of the Beastie Boys, whose music he also recorded. "Bust A Move" is still ubiquitous wherever people congregate and have a good time, and the song "Know How" was featured prominently in the recent hit film Baby Driver. Stone Cold Rhymin' remains a prime example of funky, sample-based hip-hop as the genre began to modernize.
