Soul Jazz Records’ Boombox 2 is a selection of early rap music from the period 1979-83, with barely a household name in sight. Featured here are some the earliest hip-hop records that came out of New York City following the enormous commercial success of the first ever rap record, ‘Rapper’s Delight’ by the Sugarhill Gang, in September 1979. Artists and producers alike tried to jump aboard the new commercial possibilities of hip-hop. By the end of the year there were 30 hip-hop singles, all released by independent New York labels. The following year there were over 100 more, and so on. Boombox 2 tells the story of how hip-hop went from its evolutionary roots in the Bronx through DJs Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa through to its second phase where veteran music producers – Paul Winley, Peter Brown, Joe Robinson and others – all based in Harlem, began to put rap on vinyl for the first time. Harlem is also where the separate worlds of disco and hip-hop met through the styles and influence of earlier ‘uptown’ DJs - DJ Hollywood and Eddie Cheba. In similar fashion these veteran Harlem-based producers instinctively tapped into a long lineage of African-American rhythm and blues, soul and disco. Boombox 2 is a triple-vinyl set (+ download code) LP and double CD pack that features extensive text, exclusive interviews and stunning photography by Jamel Shabazz, Martha Cooper and others. Reviews of Boombox 1: ‘The vital launch pad between hip-hop’s birth and its worldwide impact’ THE WIRE ‘This compilation of early rap is a legit party in a box, one of the best Soul Jazz Records releases in years.’

Too much info
Format: Hardcover
This is a very detailed book, almost to detailed if you get overwhelmed easily as a new mom to be like I was. There are amazing pictures, and just about everything is answered here. This also goes great with the pregnancy day by day sister book if you like this much detail.

Love this book!!!
A pregnancy must have! Every day you get to follow along with what your baby is going through. I was so excited not to have to wait for the week mark to read something new. I loved the pictures and advice and information about what baby and I were experiencing and each time a new symptom came alone I opened this book and it would address that topic on that day. I highly recommend it for first time mom-to-be.

Perfect!
Great book for just what you need if you are a first time mom or dad. Lets you take in all of the overwhelming information that comes with parenthood in easy to bite pieces with pictures and captions. Very appealing to the eye and easy to put down and pick up whenever you have time. Does not go into a lot of detail on most things, just gives an overview and pointer for almost any question or concern a new parent might have. If you need more information because of your situation you can then seek it elsewhere.

Wonderful book
This is the best baby book ever in my opinion. It's very detailed and informative but the way it's set up doesn't make it overwhelming. Also, this book has lots of beautiful, colorful, bright pictures in it. I purchased this book along with Pregnancy Day by Day. I definitely recommend this book!

A Must-Have for Smooth, Clean Skin!
Style: Detoxify
I've tried several exfoliating products over the years, but the Cleanlogic Detoxify Charcoal Infused Exfoliating Body Scrubber stands out as one of the best! The dual-texture design is incredibly effective — one side is gently exfoliating while the other is a bit more textured for those extra-tough spots. It leaves my skin feeling super soft, clean, and noticeably refreshed after every shower. The charcoal infusion is a nice bonus. It adds a sense of detoxification that feels like I'm giving my skin a mini spa treatment at home. I love that this comes in a 3-pack — it's a great value, and I can keep one in my travel bag, one in the shower, and a spare for when I need it. Durable, easy to hold, and dries quickly too. If you're looking to level up your daily skincare or shower routine, this is a simple but powerful tool to add. Highly recommend!
