Redhead Kingpin And The FBI – Superbad, Superslick

# Redhead Kingpin And The FBI – Superbad, Superslick

Redhead Kingpin And The FBI emerged as a notable hip hop act during the late 1980s, bringing energetic and stylish production to the emerging East Coast rap scene. This 1989 release on 10 Records represents a key moment in their career, showcasing their ability to craft infectious hip hop tracks with mass appeal.

"Superbad, Superslick" became the group's signature track, and this 12-inch single wisely leads with the Rough & Heavy Remix on the A-side, delivering a robust version that emphasizes the track's boastful charm and funky instrumentation. The production is characteristically slick for the era, with crisp drum programming and layered samples that define late 80s hip hop aesthetics. The B-side offers valuable variety with "Do The Right Thing (Happiness Remix)," demonstrating the group's versatility beyond their flagship single, followed by the One World Dub version of their main track, which strips back elements for a more spacious, instrumental-focused approach.

This vinyl release is essential for collectors interested in East Coast hip hop's golden age and the deeper catalog of this underrated group.
