T La Rock & Jazzy Jay - It's Yours 12" Single Repress (Partytime 2005)
Special thanks to Moyinka for this 12.
My last post LL Cool J's I Need a Beat 12" was the very first official release on the Def Jam label way back in 84. At least on paper that's correct. In 1982, Hose an Art-Punk band founded by Rick Rubin released a 45 rpm 7" vinyl single in a brown paper bag, and no label as the first Def Jam release. It's Yours was the first record to appear with the Def jam logo and on the label it has PT 104 listed as the catalog number, but the runout groove has a second, cat# JAM-1, & the picture sleeve says JAM 1. In 1983 a few months before joining forces with Russell Simmons, Rick Rubin borrowed $5,000 from his parents and produced and recorded his first hip hop record It’s Yours on the Streetwise Records subsidiary label Party Time Records. The Beastie Boys' Mike D had this to say about the record: "As the hip hop mythology goes, Rick Rubin had arranged to put out a record by rapper Special K and Jazzy Jay, of the Treacherous 3 and Afrika Bambaataa’s Zulu Nation, respectively. When the arrangement with Special K fell through, Special K's brother T La Rock filled in and the rest is history. Rick Rubin then went into the studio to make a record with Jazzy Jay and T La Rock called It's Yours. And actually if you listen to the background track you can hear Adam (Horovitz) and myself (Mike D) and I think also Adam Yauch and Dave Swift and some other friends of ours saying "ho" and getting our claps on. Anyway so that record came out actually through… I think it was through Arthur Baker’s label… this label called Partytime. I think Arthur Baker had something to do with it. That record came out and Russell (Simmons) heard it. I think for him… it was shocking for someone he didn’t know had made it or someone that wasn’t from his world."

Yeay baby, thatz an incredible story. I bought, well actually ma dukes bought it from the Wiz by her job in downtown Newark, NJ soon after it came out. I started djing the day afta I heard Sucker MCs at a house party in EO, NJ 8/18/83. I used to hear the songs on KISS or WBLS, describe them to my moms, and then she would describe it to the sales guy at the Wiz. 90% of the time she would come back with the right record. This lasted about 3 months and then I started buyin my own joints from Crazy Rythms in Montclair, NJ. This was back when you could just buy a record from certain labels and know they'd be dope even if ya neva heard of the artist. Wasn't no listenin ta joints first in the early days. Break the shrink wrap u buy...
Wuddup with "Cookie Puss"? To me that was the first skit on wax even tho it was like 6 minutes, and RADIO's interludes might've been second, De La was like 5 years later but they get the credit

T La Rock is also the older brother of this cat I worked with back in the day for a minute, 'Tony Tone' - he had a cut called 'Flow to the Bone' on Blunted Records in '94 or '95.
