Afrika Islam is a hip hop pioneer, also known as the "Son of Bambaataa", i.e.
Afrika Bambaataa. He left NY for LA and went on to co-produce most of
Ice Ts early albums, namely "Rhyme Pays" and "Power"; the latter is deemed to be Ice's finest effort by some aficionados. In the late 1990s, Afrika Islam joined German
techno icon
Westbam[?] to form
Mr. X and Mr. Y[?], a techno duo that made commercial techno with
electro funk influences. "Back to Berlin" quotes from the Old School rap classic "New York New York" by
Grandmaster Flash.
