Identify this 80's hip hop song
January 1, 2016 9:37 AM

Friend has been searching for this song for years, and just came across an old cassette tape, likely recorded from the radio.

I think I hear "Seannie D" "The Harlem Crew" and "My name is Rayski" along with a lot of typical lines from that era "all you sucker MCs..."
Looking for artist, song title and album, please.

I think I hear "shauny D" and "Dray Ski"... Shazam is no help here. Quote of the clear lyrics don't show up in google either.

Could you tell us a bit more about where and when they first heard the song? And what other songs are on the tape?

My pleasure. I wish I could claim obscure knowledge of old school rap tracks, but I just Googled the crew name.
