Despite what Madonna’s wrists might tell you, it was an even trade. One year earlier, Hashim had conquered the Danceteria club scene with “Al-Naafiysh,” an epic six-minute b-boy anthem that made kids spin smoking bald spots into their heads. New York stations like WKTU blew it up, while hip-hop DJs used its vocoded imprimatur, “It’s time,” as a scratch tool.\" Read an interview with Hashim about that music: https://www.bidoun.org/articles/the-hashimite-kingdom","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
