"Hotel Amazon...the club on the Lower East Side...has established itself as the CBGB of rap music."
-- The New York Times, 1988

From: The Pop Life in the New York Times
By Stephen Holden
Published: November 16, 1988

"...Wild Pitch Records...will present three of its new acts - Latee, Gang Starr and Technolo-G - at the Hotel Amazon (107 Suffolk Street), the club on the Lower East Side that has established itself as the CBGB of rap music. Latee, the headliner, is a Jersey City rapper who avoids typically glittery rap-star regalia. His cult hits, ''This Cut's Got Flavor'' and ''No Tricks,'' produced by D. J. Mark the 45 King, are valued by rap connoisseurs for their extra-hard rhythmic clout."
