Album Notes & Community Reviews

Often cited as one of the foundational texts of the horrorcore subgenre alongside Gravediggaz, this release brought intensely dark, occult-themed hip hop to Def Jam Records. The Brooklyn trio employs grimy boom-bap production to underscore their relentless, shock-value lyricism on 'U.S.A.' (Under Satan's Authority).
