Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced with heavy involvement from EPMD's Hit Squad, the Brooklyn duo's massive debut completely revolutionized early 90s hip-hop with their distinctively stuttering, 'iggedy'-suffixed vocal style. The rapid-fire, nonsensical pop-culture references flow effortlessly over incredibly dense, funk-heavy breakbeats, becoming an inescapable commercial and cultural phenomenon.
