Intro

U.) C.

Go-Go scene, second only to Chuck Brown in historical influence. Formed in 1975, they initially explored a heavy psychedelic funk sound similar to Black Merda or early Funkadelic, as heard on their cult classic 'Free Yourself'. However, as the 1980s progressed, they refined the Go-Go aesthetic: a subgenre characterized by heavy percussion, call-and-response vocals, and a continuous rhythmic pocket. Their cultural peak arrived in 1988 with 'Da Butt', featured in Spike Lee's film 'School Daze', which brought Go-Go to a national audience. U. is respected for their technical precision within a highly improvisational live framework. U. A, cementing their legacy in the DNA of modern rap.
