Your 80s Hip-Hop Rewind: 'Kill That Noise' by MC Shan (1987)

Welcome back fans, its time for another issue of Your 80s Hip-Hop Rewind, and this week we have MC Shan, and his fly 1987 track Kill That Noise. MC Shan (born Shawn Moltke) is an American rapper from  Queens, NYC who has been active out on the scene circa 1985. He is well known for his collaboration with Canadian rapper Snow, and his 1992 international hit track Informer. Kill That Noise was released on MC Shan's 1987 debut album Down By Law, which apparently was released at the height of the Bridge Warswhich was a feud between rappers from Queensbridge, NYC (MC Shan), and those from the South Bronx (e.g. KRS-One). It seems that the feuds of the hip/hop/rap world have always been going on. Well, that does it for this issue, stay tuned, numero uno of the countdown is soon to be announced!
