LaRussell Honors M.C. Hammer With "Hammer Time"
LaRussell channels 90s nostalgia with his latest single, Hammer Time, a tribute to M.C. Hammer's legendary U Can't Touch This. The original track, a defining moment in hip-hop history, was part of the record-breaking Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em, which sold over 10 million copies and remains the best-selling rap album of all time.
LaRussell's homage comes on the heels of a major milestone: his residency at the Empress Theatre in the Bay Area. Running from January 5 through March, the residency promises a diverse lineup of entertainment, including comedy and choir performances. “Entertainment is a billion-dollar market,” LaRussell noted, highlighting his vision to bring fresh energy to the region.
Hammer Time is more than a song; it’s a celebration of Bay Area rap culture’s past, present, and future. Don’t miss this iconic nod to hip-hop history.
