KRS-ONE - Return Of The Boom Bap (30th Anniversary) [2xLP - Blue Swirl/Orange Swirl]

Originally released in the fall of 1993, Return of the Boom Bap is KRS-One's first official solo album. The album is pure '90s hip-hop filled with KRS-One's trademark conscious raps and storytelling with boom bap beats from the man himself, DJ Premier, Showbiz, and Kid Capri. The album kicks off with a trademark intro leading into 'Outta Here,' a tale about coming up in the '80s with a message to emcees not staying true to their roots. Throughout the album KRS-One tackles corrupt police, fake emcees, religion and provides some comical relief on 'I Can't Wake Up' where he dreams about being a blunt passed around by a who's who of '90s emcees and Bill Clinton! The album was selected as one of The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums and received a four mics rating in The Source in 1993. Get On Down is presents a limited edition pressing of Return of The Boom Bap to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the blast master's classic debut solo album. Includes the bonus freestyle track 'Hip-Hop vs Rap' that was on the original 'Sound of Da Police' 12".
