Welcome back to another edition of Hip Hop 80s Wednesdays! This week, we’re diving into a classic from 1984: “Action” by The Treacherous Three.

“Action” is a prime example of the raw energy and lyrical prowess that defined early hip hop. The Treacherous Three, consisting of Kool Moe Dee, LA Sunshine, and Special K, were known for their intricate rhymes and dynamic stage presence. This track showcases their ability to blend storytelling with a hard-hitting beat that keeps you moving from start to finish.

Released in a time when hip hop was still carving out its place in the mainstream, “Action” stood out with its catchy hook and innovative production. The group’s chemistry is evident in every verse, making it clear why they were pioneers in the genre.

What’s particularly interesting about “Action” is how it captures the spirit of the mid-80s hip hop scene. The song is not just about the music; it’s a snapshot of the culture and the streets of New York City during a pivotal time for hip hop.

Did you catch The Treacherous Three live back in the day? What’s your favorite line from the song?
