"South Bronx" is a song by American hip hop group Boogie Down Productions, released as the lead single from their debut studio album Criminal Minded (1987).
The song's title references New York City’s South Bronx area and is the representative anthem of the titular inner-city.
KRS-one reports that DJ Red Alert played this song three times in a row and that the crowd was very engaged.
Eleven different pitches are used throughout the recording including the actual one, 7 of which were used altogether to create a threatening effect.
The song also samples "Funky Drummer" and "Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved" by James Brown, as well as "Let's Get Small" by Trouble Funk.
