Black Vinyl 2LP
A long-overdue reissue of KRS-One's 1995 self-titled album, KRS-One.
Two years after the release of Return of the Boom Bap, KRS-One got back in the studio and behind the boards, enlisting additional production from DJ Premier, Showbiz, Diamond D, Norty Cotto, and Big French Production.
In August 1995, KRS-One dropped the Preemo-produced lead single “MC's Act Like They Don't Know”, with “Represent The Real Hip-Hop” featuring Das EFX on the B-side of the 12-inch, showcasing KRS-One's lyrical skills and backing up his status as one of the best live performers in the game.
KRS-One knocked it out of the park on his second solo effort with another Premier-produced single about the current state of hip hop on “Rappers R. N. Dainja” and straight-up boom bap rap on the Fat Joe-assisted track “De Automatic.”
He offers political and social commentary on “R.E.A.L.I.T.Y.”, “Hold”, and “Free Mumia” with Channel Live, and continues to diss sucker MCs on “Wannabemceez” with Mad Lion.
