Hace Calor (It's Gttin' Hot) / Todo Lo Que Quiero En Este Mundo (Es Encontrar Esa Chica) (All I Want In This World (Is To Find That Girl)

Released in 1981 on the Mercury label, this single represents a deliberate attempt to expand the reach of American hip-hop into the Spanish-speaking market. Kurtis Blow, who had already achieved commercial success as the first rapper signed to a major label, recorded these versions as part of an industry effort to globalize the sound of early 80s rap. The track serves as a curiosity of the era, showcasing the crossover potential record executives saw in the nascent genre before its global explosion.

The adaptation of these tracks involved translating the lyrics while maintaining the distinctive electro-funk production style characteristic of Blow's work with producer J.B. Moore and Robert Ford Jr. By recording in Spanish, the label aimed to cultivate a following in Latin American territories and among Spanish-speaking listeners in the United States. While it remains a niche item for dedicated hip-hop historians and vinyl archivists, it highlights the experimental, label-driven strategies used to market urban music during its transition into the mainstream.
