Strut presents two classic tracks from the inimitable Lafayette Afro-Rock Band, finally available
together on 7” vinyl: the endlessly sampled Darkest Light, backed with the quintessential Hihache.
The opening bars of Darkest Light are instantly recognisable to funk and hip-hop heads. Originally
released on the Lafayette Afro-Rock Band’s Malik album, the track went on to become a defining hip-
hop motif, sampled by Jay-Z, Public Enemy, Wreckx-N-Effect and many more.
On the flip, Hihache emerged as a firm favourite as hip-hop culture exploded in the 1980s. Taken
from the group’s iconic Soul Makossa album, its larger-than-life drum break became a foundational
sample, most famously appearing in Biz Markie’s Nobody Beats The Biz, among countless others.
Two essential cuts from a hugely influential group, now pressed in a strictly limited run of just 500
copies on black 7” vinyl.
