Egyptian Lover is a legendary west coast hip-hop pioneer from the days before Gangsta Rap. We're reissuing his groundbreaking “Egypt, Egypt” single as a custom-made pyramid, to be followed by an Egyptian Lover anthology.

Born Greg Broussard, Egyptian Lover was a rapper, DJ, producer and record label owner who was hugely influenced by the New York electro scene, as well as by the electro-funk of Zapp. He made flat-out party music backed with a Roland 808: dynamite for the dance-floor. He began with Uncle Jamm’s Army – rocking dance parties of 10,000 people at the L.A. Sports Arena – then made his own impact as a solo artist.

“Egypt, Egypt,” his first single, released in 1984, was an L.A. anthem. It is backed with “Girls” – an instrumental “bonus beats” version of the original track from E.L.'s album On The Nile, one of the first full length hip-hop albums from the left coast, released on his own label Egyptian Empire Records. These early works have become staples of electro sets across the world.
