Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally intended to serve as their final studio album together, the legendary New York duo delivered another deeply authentic slab of Golden Era hip-hop. 'Out of Business' ignores modern commercial trends, relying entirely on heavy, funk-driven boom bap production and their trademark, incredibly smooth, highly rhythmic vocal interplay.
