Background notes
Archive material and source history
Rodney O and Joe Cooley made a single called "DJ Nightmare" in 1983. It got some attention, though not always the friendly kind. The track had a way of getting under people's skin, and it's the main thing most people remember them for.
They were a duo from the early hip-hop scene. Rodney O handled the rhymes, and Joe Cooley worked the turntables. Their other song, "You Don't Wanna Runup!", came out around the same time. They didn't get much play on commercial radio, and their career didn't follow a typical path.
What's left is mostly that one record. "DJ Nightmare" still turns up in conversations about that era, usually as an example of something that didn't fit neatly into what was happening at the time.
