If it doesn't have to be NYC, surely this fits too?

The version of Private Armies on the New Age Steppers record is a shorten dub version also on the Dirty Washing 12" but the longer version is the best one, imo.
This would be my pick for an Arthur Russell songs that fits disco, punk and rap

Not New York, not really hip-hop (but a lot of it begs to be sampled if it wasn't already), but punk and yes, disco can be heard here:

And though he's not New York, Billy Squier has a few songs that are disco, were sampled by hip-hop artists back in the day, and some riffs that were at least as punky as they were funky. I'm hard-pressed to come up with one song that combined all of it, though I think this comes closest.

I want to fit this in as well... It's New York (Long Island)! It's disco and hip-hop! It's kinda punk (in that I can totally hear a ska-punk band cover this unironically)! It's '70s though.
