Malcolm X

Malcolm X was a one-off moniker for American drummer Keith LeBlanc who released the single No Sell Out featuring vocal samples of American black activist Malcolm X in November 1983 on Tommy Boy Records. It marked the one of the first usages of sample-based composition in popular music as well and was the first hip hop song to use Malcolm X's voice for artistic and political reasons. No other releases under the Malcolm X moniker was ever made.

Peel played the single No Sell Out on his shows in the early 80's and later played Keith LeBlanc's Enemy Within's single, Support The Miners, a cause that Peel supported, where he had to avoid making political comments on the topic in his programmes.
