{"product_id":"hustler-s-convention","title":"Hustler's Convention","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1973 a fast-talking, hustler by the name of Sport played a huge part in the birth of Hip-Hop. Brought to life by Lightnin' Rod a.k.a Jalal of the Last Poets and backed by music from Kool \u0026amp; The Gang, Buddy Miles, Billy Preston and more, Hustlers' Convention is a concept album documenting the rise and fall of Sport, a street gambler who ends up in jail after a shoot-out with the police. His street tales of card games, throwing dice and chasing women influenced Wu Tang, Ice T, Public Enemy, Jungle Brothers and many more while also playing a key role in establishing rap as an accepted modern musical art form. A documentary about the album and its pivotal role in the evolution of hip hop is currently being made. The film features interviews with Chuck D, Melle Mel, KRS One Fab 5 Freddy and more. This vinyl edition is pressed on heavyweight (180g) vinyl and is packaged in a gatefold sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charly","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50479017820491,"sku":"391740","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/cf6143a5-83fa-418c-9c3c-ac9fd94cc833_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727497894","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/hustler-s-convention","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
