>>I say "most famous for" becuase it's the only track I've heard or even
heard of, but then, I wasn't following rap at the time!<<

Here's what I know:

Beat Bop is by far the most famous.
Next up a few cuts on the Wildstyle soundtrack.
A (disappointing) 12" and LP as The Gettovetts sort of late 80s.
A similar time - a (promo only?) release with Shock Dell (another Wildstyle
veteran) the name of which escapes me; I'm pretty sure that was a Laswell
production and has more than its share of metal guitars but sounds pretty
good.  I can dig out and find!

UNKLE vs Rammelzee on Header is just the regular Japanes version sampling
Rammelzee.

Not very much it seems for someone responsible for "the greatest hip hop
record of all time" as the Coldcut webpage puts it...

I believe he was also a fairly proficient grafitti artist though I've never
seen any of his work...
