Album Notes & Community Reviews

An incredibly potent, uncompromising manifesto of militant political hip-hop, this debut album heavily advocates for Pan-Africanism, anti-capitalism, and armed self-defense. 'Lets Get Free' is propelled by sparse, bass-heavy production, most famously defining the era with the massive underground anthem 'Hip Hop'.
