Turn Your Speakers Way Up – Classic [Video]

Audio Two were the Brooklyn, New York hip hop duo of emcee Kirk “Milk Dee” Robinson and DJ Nat “Gizmo” Robinson, most famous for its first hit, the classic “Top Billin’.” The members of the duo are also the older brothers of female hip-hop star MC Lyte. The duo’s debut single, “Make it Funky,” was released in 1987, but it was the b-side, “Top Billin’,” that hit, making not only the group instant stars but also making a deep cultural impact on hip hop. The beat by Daddy-O of Stetsasonic and Milk Dee’s lyrics would be sampled and referenced time and time again, even by the group itself: both the group’s full-length debut, 1988’s What More Can I Say? and its 1990 follow-up, I Don’t Care: The Album, were titled after lines from the song.
