Aboutmartinstjohn Expertise I can answer general questions about the golden age of hip hop, mostly the 1980s breakbeat era. SInce i collected many rap artists Lps and tapes in the 80s, i can answer most song titles by lyrics.
Experience Hip hop music is what got me into dj mixing in the first place. I still have those lps by rappers Mc Shan, LL COol J, UTFO, WHistle, Beastie Boys, Choice Mcs, Run DMC, Juice Crew, Kool G Rap, Mantronix, Ice T, 2 live crew, Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, Eric B and Rakim, Dana Dane, Stetasonic, Fat Boys, LA Dream Team,Kurtis Blow,Dj Jazzy Jeff and the fresh prince. In addition, i can answer questions about electrofunk that came from that era: Twilight 22, Newcleus, Egyptian Lover, Arabian Prince, Kyper,Cybotron, Reggie Griffin and Technofunk, Hashim. In addition to that my knowledge of 80s hip hop and r&b extends to the r&b/funk side with Cameo, Loose Ends, Lakeside, Gap Band, Sos band, and others.
Education/Credentials 2 years college..but i couldve had a college degree at a four year university with the money ive put out on vinyl records over the years.

Question I want to know the title and artist to what I believe to be a RAP song, or Hip Hop. I know fragments to the song.
5 o clock in the morning where you gonna be, "outside on the corner” calling each other nigga.
The lead singer is female.
Answer Keeping in mind that i'm not as good at identifying new school as i am with the old school i.e. golden age aka the breakbeat era. THis one made me use google, something i rarely do. I was unfamiliar with this song as with most rap not from the 1979-1990 time period. The song is "5 o clock" by Nonchalant.
