#AOTM137: Stevie Hyper D & The 5 Man Army

In the early 80’s Hyper D went by the name of ‘Daddy Stevie’ and was part of a crew called ‘The 5 Man Army’, who regularly played at parties all over. Here is a really rare recording from 1984, of Stevie on the mic alongside fellow 5 Man Army members ‘Wongy Culture’, ‘Pandy The Mixer’ & ‘Major 1’. Although the recording is a little bit rough it offers a real insight into the earlier days of Stevie Hyper D’s career. I love the fact that this recording exists, as it shows an insight into the influences that made Stevie Hyper D become the MC that he was.
