Leftfield feat. Afrika Bambaataa "Afrika Shox"

Update: As you may have gleaned from the post that follows, I am much more of a Leftfield fan than I am an Afrika Bambaataa fan. I had some passing knowledge of his importance in the rap and electronic music spheres, but what I was not aware of (until someone commented on Threads) was the sexual abuse accuastions made against him. I would never intentially laud such a person; this fault is on me for not doing a more in-depth internet search before I posted. I'm leaving it up because I don't want to hide my mistake; it happened and I own it, but also, as I noted in the post that follows, my interest was more in Leftfield than Bambaataa. The acccusations don't change the quality of the track, but it does greatly diminish my perception of one of the artists involved with said song. My apologies.

Leftfield are a fantastic outfit who crafted one of my favorite electronic records of the 90s, Rhythm and Stealth.

So why am I bringing up an album that's nearly 27 years old? Well, Leftfield would not exist if not for Afrika Bambaataa, who inspired founding member Neil Barnes to take a shot at electronic music production. Furthermore, Afrika himself is featured on the track "Afrika Shox" from the aforementioned album.

Sadly, Afrika passed yesterday after a bout with cancer.

I understand that Bambaataa was a rap and electronic music pioneer with widespread influence, but this is the track where I was first introduced to him, and again, one of my favorites from a cherished album.

Rest in peace, Afrika Bambaataa, this track is fire!
