To prove this it went to number 1 for 1 x week within August 1989 on the USA Billboard, Club Playlist chart. However, it wasn't just the House music fans that liked it. It seemed that if anyone was going to give this new fusion music a chance then it would be with the House music fans. Hardcore rappers of the time were not amused by this new fusion that was House music and HipHop music.įans of Hip Hop music stalwarts such as Public Enemy, Run DMC and Boogie Down Productions thought this fusion of the two music's to be a joke. Lazy was curious enough to give it a try via "rapping" over House music beats that was to turned heads within the music industry. However, Lazy was interested in this new fusion that had come out of the two camps which was being labelled as "Hip House". Lazy wasn't that well known with the House music or within the Hip Hop music camps of 1989. However, under the name of Doug Lazy he went onto record, produce and put out to the general public a wonderful dance floor smash that many around the world still loves today.
Doug still had musical aspirations in reaching the stars by trying his luck as a Rapper/Producer and thus putting out records.Īs I have mentioned above Doug Lazy lived and worked within Washington, D.C (USA) and was known as a radio DJ/presenter. It was that huge and influential single on both sides of the Atlantic on the club scene.ĭoug Lazy was originally known to the locals (the Washington D.C, USA locals that is!!!) as the Radio Dj that is/was "Mean Green".Įven though he was at this moment of his life known a radio presenter. It was a must have 12 inch record that you had to have in your box if you called yourself a Dj.īoth within the Usa and in Europe any nightclub/disco that valued its self had to make sure that there Dj's were going to play this when they opened up. And the single that we are going to discuss is - "Let it Roll".ĭuring the year of 1 989, Doug Lazy bought out a track called "Let it Roll" which rocked both sides of the Atlantic. However the world knows him by his DJ/PRODUCER name that is Doug Lazy. D.C, Usa via the hand of DJ/Producer who's real name is Gene Finley. Seen this single before? The single that I am referring to is known as "Let it Roll" and it comes from the area that is Washington.
