2010, Cold Chillin'
VINYL FORMAT. This is Cold Chillin's limited-edition deluxe set of the Marley Marl classic In Control Volume 1 with 2xLP colored vinyl (in signature pink and blue), and two slipmats!
In the early 1980s at the beginning of his career, Marley Marl was taken under the wing of original Juice Crew members and given a life-changing opportunity to be the official DJ for the legendary New York City rap show "Mr. Magic's Rap Attack." This experience, coupled with his internship at Unique Studios under Arthur Baker, helped Marley both understand how a record was produced, and served as a launching pad for him to develop his own recording techniques and earn his own credits on early hip hop and electro classics. By 1988, Marley Marl was the man. His production and connections had catapulted him to being the "in-house" producer for the second coming of the Juice Crew, creating hits for MC Shan, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap and Biz Markie. In Control Volume 1 was released in 1988, the first time we can think of where the producer was the headline artist of a hip-hop album. With an impeccable balance of the hottest rappers of the time and newest talent in the Juice Crew, In Control Volume 1 can easily be identified as a true hip hop classic.
