Disco/Nu Disco/Re-Edits Side 1. Rapper's Delight (long version - remastered) Side 2. Rapper's Delight (Greg Wilson & Che remix)
The track that helped bring rap from the block party to the global stage gets a fresh new official remix, courtesy of Greg Wilson & Che Wilson. This limited 140g double-sided 12" pairs the brand-new rework with the legendary 14-minute original, preserving the Sugarhill label's classic artwork for maximum vintage appeal. Originally released in 1979, 'Rapper's Delight' is widely credited as the first rap single to achieve major mainstream success, opening the door for artists like Run-D.M.C., LL Cool J and, later, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z and Nas. Built around Bernard Edwards' iconic Chic bassline, it blends disco's infectious groove with a pioneering flow that still feels effortlessly smooth over four decades later. The influence on the culture was immediate and irreversible. The Wilson & Wilson remix respectfully extends and reframes the original's party-starting energy, giving DJs and dancers a fresh way to experience its rhythmic magic. This song remains a cornerstone of rap history. To have the original along side a remix done 45 years later shows the lasting impact this track still has.
