The WFST hosted and Deejayed the best of the parties .,. and soon landed a spot on WHBI 105.9 FM, in New York with the “World Famous Supreme Team Show” – one of the first hip hop radio shows. The one hour show was named after them, the World’s Famous Supreme Team Show. It made quite a bit of noise, so much in fact, that it caught the attention of Malcolm Mclaren in London, England.
In 1981 – 1984, Malcolm Mclaren and the World’s Famous Supreme Team combined forces to produce some of hip hop’s all time classic hits which include “Buffalo Gals“, “World’s Famous“, “She’s looking like a Hobo“, “Hobo Scratch“, “D’ya like Scratchin’?“, “Would’ ya like more Scratchin’?“, “Hey DJ“, “Radio Man” and “City Life“.
