HIP HOP LANDMARK HOME OF THE CRASHCREW,,PROMOTERS MIKE AND DAVE. HARLEM

HIP HOP LANDMARK HOME OF THE CRASHCREW AND PROMOTERS MIKE AND DAVE. HARLEM My story about this crew which started out as the Force of Five Mc,s in the late 70's Reggie Reg, Gee Man, La Shu Bee, Barry Bistro, EK Mike C and DJ Darryl C (R.I.P) along with Disco Dave who with his brother Mike were the promoters. This was a self contained unit in which Mike and Dave owned their own sound system as well and use to bring the music out in their park as well. Mike and Dave,were very smart to the game & really kept to themselves whereas they were making a dent in the game with their parties. Mike and Dave had the Crashcrew do alot of shows which they gave in places like the Karate Club, I.S 201, Savoy Manor any place Mike and Dave could rent. But the Savoy Manor in 149 st was as far they would go into the Bronx . So eventually it happened Kool Dj Aj join forces and Mike and Dave with Kool Dj Aj started promoting parties together. By them linking with AJ gave them a Bronx pass to do parties further up in the Bronx because they were linked with Aj and Busybee. Which in turn gave AJ now to do parties with the Crashcrew, and then there was a young Biz Markie, a young Rob Base who wanted to get on and yes they carried record crate and as all that. But that Mike and Dave and Aj partnership didn't last long after AJ I started doing parties with Mike and Dave and we started going out to Queens where they put on a Queens rapper named Sweety G & they we were promoting MasterDon & the Death Committee, a young Dougie Fresh, the Boogie Boys, along with the Crashcrew. So doing the Queens parties was hectic coming from Harlem and making sure certain Queens rappers were cool. So I made sure that Divine and them were cool knowing they were tight as Hell. The Olympia Palace, Martin Van Buren High School were the spot we did the jams at . But we respected the crews out iof 40 projects, Baisley, and those who we knew could just set iit off back then but it never happened. Mike and Dave was also the 1st Rap promoters to release record under their label The Crashcew "Highpowered Rap and The Boogie Boys. Much Props to the crew from Lincoln Projects.
