Upcycled Vinyl Record Ornament —The Furious Five Meets the Sugar Hill Gang — Showdown/ Showdown (instr.)

This Medium Atomic Teardrop ornament is hand-cut and hand-finished from an original Sugar Hill Records pressing of Showdown — the electrifying 1980 collaboration between The Furious Five and The Sugar Hill Gang. This record captures a defining moment in hip-hop’s earliest years, when MCs brought battle-style storytelling, rhythm, and charisma to vinyl for the very first time.

Sugar Hill Records played a crucial role in hip-hop’s birth, releasing landmark singles like “Rapper’s Delight,” “The Message,” and collaborative cuts like this that showcased the energy of the block-party era. The label’s iconic blue background with the rainbow rope design, confirmed via Discogs, remains one of the most visually recognizable aesthetics in hip-hop history.

The atomic teardrop silhouette pairs beautifully with the bold, colorful label, transforming this rescued vinyl into a sculptural ornament that celebrates both mid-century design and the roots of rap music.
Front and back shown — one ornament.
