HIP HOP LANDMARK HARLEM WORLD DISCO

HIP HOP LANDMARK HARLEM WORLD DISCO! Photo by Chuck Foster! 1st I like to thank the late Jack Taylor the owner of Harlem and O C the manager The Harlem World Crew Son of Sam, Charlie Rock and special shout out to the Late DJ Randy who grew up with me at John Adams Projects as a child along with Dj Darryl. Harlem World was special it went from an adult disco to one of the hottest Hip Hop Clubs. As a flyer guy for the late Kool Dj Aj back in late 1977 Aj is always stated in all my interviews about who put me on and got me started as a promoter. Mandiplite was also someone along with Mike and Dave I have done shows with. But Harlem Wotld was the place to be & you had all the rappers coming from the from everywhere Johnny Wa and Rayvon, dj Spivey, Captain Riock, dj Red alert who is from Harlem walking distance really Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde, dj Kayslay aka Graf writer then known as Dez. There was a little kid who wanted to get in Harlem World name Doug E Fresh with his boy Loose Bruce. There were many who came to every show and then there are some telling stories about events that happened at Harlem World or certain shows and wasnt even at that event. In the end now it really doesn't matter because it was a phenomenal thing happening. I gave many shows there and help promote many shows there with KOOL DJ AJ. Actually we were the only 2 who did alot of shows there with the exception of the Harlem World Crew. Since they were the house they got to pick the good dates of the calendar. But lets remember while Harlem World was poppin, we still had competition on certain nights depending who you booked. Summertime was rough because Djs would come outside and who want to be in a club and paying when you could get to hear the music and whomever was on the mic for free. Business was good after Sumner was over. but the competition from other promoters at spots like the Celebrity Club, Randys Place could hurt any promoter if everyone did show the same night and it depend on who you had. But the Bronx was no different with the Savoy Manor, Stardust Ballroom, Club 371, T Connection, Ecstacy Garage and others spots could hurt your party. Part 1
