GMF Vignette Series | Part 8: The Beatbox ⚡️

How was the Beatbox created?
In Part 8, Grandmaster Flash shares how he discovered the manually operated drum box that became his go-to secret weapon for block parties in the 70s: the Beatbox. Never did he imagine, this machine that he coined as “the Beatbox” would resurgence and be imitated by humans with the mouth. Shout out to Biz Markie - RIP, Doug E. Fresh, The Fat Boys, and Rahzel, just to name a few of the greats that took Grandmaster Flash's discovery to the next level and put it on record.

Thank you for giving us you. It is because of you and so many others that sacrifice the ultimate... time and energy into something that you love so dearly. Your the main reason I became A DJ. Music is what got me through the war. Hopefully 1 day before I leave this world I will meet you.
