Afrika Islam

Afrika Islam (Charles Glenn) is a hip hop pioneer, also known as the "Son of Bambaataa", i.e. Afrika Bambaataa. He left New York for Los Angeles and went on to co-produce most of Ice T's early albums, namely Rhyme Pays and Power; the latter is deemed to be Ice's finest effort by some aficionados. In the late 1990s, Afrika Islam joined German techno icon Westbam to form Mr. X and Mr. Y, a techno duo that made commercial techno with Electro influences. "Back to Berlin" quotes from the Old School rap classic "New York New York" by Grandmaster Flash.
