Oldie But A Goodie : Edwin Birdsong

Edwin Birdsong was known for his experimental funk/disco music. While he never really achieved mainstream success he did gain a fan base. His two best known songs are “Cola Bottle Baby” and “Rapper Dapper Snapper”.

Whenever I play a 70′s set I’m sure to play “Cola Bottle Baby” as everyone can tell that it is the sample used in Daft Punk’s “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger”.

As well, Gangstarr sampled “Rapper Dapper Snapper” for their song “Skillz”
