His first cousin Dr. Who would bang out beats on the tables while the two traded rhymes, and the cousins later formed Masters of Ceremony together. When that group broke up after its 1988 album Dynamite, Puba went looking for new partners and found Sadat X, Lord Jamar and DJ Alamo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNamed at the New Rochelle Mall:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elektra A\u0026amp;R man Dante Ross liked the new crew but told them they needed two things first, a name and a song. They cut their first demo, \"I Ain't Goin' Out Like That,\" at Jazzy Jay's studio, then started hunting for a name. \"Nubian\" came from a book Lord Jamar had been reading, \"Brand\" was added for brand new, and Puba has said they finally settled it while hanging out at the mall in New Rochelle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdie Brickell in the Hook:\u003c\/strong\u003e Side B here holds two of the records behind the 1991 hit \"Slow Down\": Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians' folk-rock single \"What I Am\" and Kool and the Gang's \"Kool It (Here Come the Fuzz).\" Brand Nubian lifted Brickell's guitar riff and part of her chorus, turning a Dallas band's pop hit into a rap anthem that reached No. 3 on Billboard's Hot Rap Singles chart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n","brand":"Power Plant Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68064325828795,"sku":null,"price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/4204\/1658\/files\/1f5dtqhkg4wu69i8oxjjoii3w.jpg?v=1793399215","url":"https:\/\/powerplantrecords.com\/products\/various-artists-strictly-breaks-brand-nubian-collection-7","provider":"Power Plant Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
