The Disco Not Disco and Mutant Sounds compilations are a good starting point for this sort of thing iirc. There's hardly any strictly hip hop tunes in there but they are definitely grounded in some sort of funk-soul-disco influence which blends fine when paired with any hip hop song from the epoch.

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.
