1982: “Bam Bam” by Sister Nancy

This week, Dusty Henry takes us back to 1982 with the track “Bam Bam” by Sister Nancy. Her story is one of innovation: how Jamaican tradition contributed to hip-hop stylings that are still popular today. It’s also a story of unrecognized talent: how decades passed before Sister Nancy finally received the recognition she deserved. 

Written by Dusty Henry.

Audio production by Roddy Nikpour.
