Many of hip-hop's most influential albums were released in 1988. Today on Soundcheck, we find out why that year produced a bumper crop of classic beats. Plus: American teens weren't the only ones inspired by rap's salad days. We look at the rise of Palestinian hip-hop. And later: Cambodian pop and American alt-rock collide in the infectious music of Dengue Fever. The group joins us for a live performance.
