Hihache\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStrut presents two classic tracks from the inimitable Lafayette Afro-Rock Band, finally available together on 7” vinyl: the endlessly sampled Darkest Light, backed with the quintessential Hihache. The opening bars of Darkest Light are instantly recognisable to funk and hip-hop heads. Originally released on the Lafayette Afro-Rock Band’s Malik album, the track went on to become a defining hip hop motif, sampled by Jay-Z, Public Enemy, Wreckx-N-Effect and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the flip, Hihache emerged as a firm favourite as hip-hop culture exploded in the 1980s. Taken from the group’s iconic Soul Makossa album, its larger-than-life drum break became a foundational sample, most famously appearing in Biz Markie’s Nobody Beats The Biz, among countless others. Two essential cuts from a hugely influential group, now pressed in a strictly limited run of just 1000 copies on black 7” vinyl for Record Store Day Black Friday 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Limited to 1 copy per customer\/household, multiple orders will be cancelled without notice.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Assai Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58901195784575,"sku":"STRUT510S","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1565\/5653\/files\/2b50d2dc796541dcaf709dda677be20c.png?v=1792577807","url":"https:\/\/assai.co.uk\/products\/lafayette-afro-rock-band-darkest-light-hihache-7-vinyl-single-rsd-black-friday-2026-due-out-27-11-26","provider":"Assai Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
