The music is very much on the electro funk tip, Mastermind also featured on scratching duties for the first two Paul Hardcastle tracks on side one. The track 'Hip Hop Beat (Street Mix)' is the Rapologists track that was released on Billy Boy Records in 1984 that was produced and mixed by Mastermind.
