Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Psycho Realm's second studio album organises its hardcore hip hop as a concept record of urban warfare, built on dusty boom bap sampling and the contrasting deliveries of Duke and Jacken. Recorded at Mennolab Studios in Los Angeles and issued on the group's own imprint after their major label split, it features Cypress Hill's B-Real, by then departed from the group, on a single track, 'Show of Force'.
