So I came across an acetate from a group called Terrorizing 3 MC's - "Big Beat Rap".... there is a stamp on the cover that says Gusto Productions a hand written date that says 8-9-82....They shout out Manhatten and the Bronx and it came from a collection from a guy in Brooklyn... so definatly from NY I would guess. The 3 MC's are Gusto, Rod Razor, and Dapper Dan. The DJ they shout out in the song and who is cutting up The Big Beat is Shawn-Ski. Anyone know if this got released or if they ever put anything out? Even ever hear of any of the MC's or the DJ?

    Hahaha.....damn. I was joking about that too and it made me post up wrong. That MC's name is actually Gatsby... And the stamp on the cover says Gatsby Productions...I just messed it up.

    Yeah I thought maybe that too...I'm not sure though. No clues in the song if he is the same Dapper Dan.
