Four exclusive tracks from Elbee Bad that conclude the True Story of House music compilation on Rush Hour. This EP showcases tracks that he produced for and/or with other artists. More classic stuff that was released on some of the leading NYC house labels at the time. This release again shows the early house mastery of Elbee Bad as well as his diversity. The Keith, Kat & Blondie shows his deep, eerie side, his freestyle vibe on The Wizard & The Prince track (which became an early UK warehouse/breakbeat hit) and his hip hop roots on the Lord KCB track.

Elbee Bad aka Lamont Booker is another great underground house pioneer from the formative days of NYC house in the late eighties.  ‘The True Story Of House Music’ is the first time Bad’s catalog gets compiled for re-release. Although the best and most prolific part of his catalog is his late 80’s and early 90’s output, Booker never stopped producing (and dj’ing). Elbee Bad aka LB Bad aka The Prince Of Dance Music aka Lamont Booker aka The Voodoo Man, aka Lord KCB aka BAD currently lives and works in Berlin where he continues to work on music as well as producing and running his Bad’s Label.
