The distinctive sound of New Orleans bounce music emerged in 1991 on a modest stage at Ghost Town, a club in the 17th Ward. That year, MC T. Tucker, hailing from the St. Thomas public housing development in the 10th Ward, performed alongside DJ Irv Phillips. Initially met with a lukewarm reception due to his outsider status, Tucker won over the crowd in his second set by invoking local pride. He called out names of nearby neighborhoods — Gert Town, Pigeon Town, Hollygrove — and asked the audience, “Where they at?”

Tucker and Phillips soon recorded “Wha Dey At” with Aaron Charlot on his Charlot label. A follow-up version, “Where Dey At?”, was released under the management of Phillips’ sister, Loren Phillips. This track, built on the Triggerman beat from New York rappers The Showboys, combined with Tucker’s call-and-response vocals, laid the foundation for New Orleans’ unique hip-hop subgenre.

“Ghost Town was, like, crazy. Music blaring and you got this DJ and this rapper running off of two records on the turntables, just running these bi***es back. And a mixer off of the Showboys’ ‘Drag Rap’ song. And just looping this s**t, just looping it, ya heard me? Found instrumental, looping it, and this dude grabbing the mic and he hadn’t much to say, but what he did have to say was going to have you on the edge of your toes.”……..READ MORE CLICK LINK IN BIO
