Album Notes & Community Reviews
His first official solo album after Boogie Down Productions, 'Return of the Boom Bap' finds KRS-One fiercely defending raw, sample-heavy hip-hop purism. The record is incredibly aggressive and rhythmic, pairing DJ Premier's classic beat-making with highly political, conscious protest and passionate boasting.
