Label: Get On Down / Jive
Reissued 4/20/2024, Originally released 1990
OPAQUE BLACK AND CANARY YELLOW COLOR IN COLOR VINYL PRESSING. THE DOUBLE LP IS HOUSED IN A GATEFOLD JACKET AND INCLUDES A INSERT WITH LYRICS AND A OBI. The fourth studio album by the legendary Boogie Down Productions. Originally released in 1990 this album features production from D-Nice as well as KRS-One himself. KRS’s unmatched lyricism comes correct over hard boom bap beats as he touches on topics that include materialism, racism, police corruption and violence and more. So it’s fitting that many of the skits - billed here as “exhibits” - feature civil rights pioneer Kwame Ture (previously known Stokely Carmichael) as to complement the conscious lyricism of KRS-One. The release went on to be certified Gold within months. This is the first time Edutainment has seen an LP release since 1990.
