Music that shaped my life II...Jam Pony Express

1985 or so is the first time I ever heard a Jam Pony Express tape in my cousins truck with the 12's in the back. Even as a 10 year old I instantly recognized the genius of this Dj and emceeing crew. The history behind JPE as explained by the website jamponyexpress.net is

"Jam Pony Express DJs began in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. in 1981. It's original members are DJ Slick Vic, Diamond Dick, Hot Rod and Mr. M.B. Later members included Lock Cool Jock, Sporty "J" and Big Ace. Jam Pony's claim to fame was "regulating" on the microphone by cutting the music down and talking over the lyrics to create a new song."

I have been sitting on my JPE tapes (Mp3's) for quite sometime and actually the last time I ever brought them to the internet was back when I had my radio show Before We Were Kings on dirtysouthradioonline.com . Then I seen a twitter (click here to follow me on Twitter) from Kyambo a.k.a Hip Hop of Roc-A-Fella fame asking for JPE music and I was blown away. I have never in all my years ever heard a born and raised NYC more specifically Brooklyn cat ask about Jam Pony. Immediately I knew I had to upload these tapes for the world to hear. So as I remember music that shaped my life it's a must that Jam Pony Express be mentioned with the greats. I have several tapes in the arsenal, but I can't just drop them all at once. Periodically I will up a different tape from the catalog.

This first one is circa 85-86 featuring Slick Vic and Body Guard Big Ace and it's a great one to set it off with too. Kyambo enjoy my dude! Everyone trust me when I say you want to be able to say you've experienced Jam Pony Express in your lifetime.
