Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Raising Hell' violently kicked down the doors of mainstream radio by seamlessly fusing hard-hitting, drum-machine hip-hop with the aggressive swagger of hard rock. The trio's commanding, intertwined vocal delivery over Rick Rubin's minimalistic, heavy-metal-sampling production spawned the genre-defining crossover hit 'Walk This Way'. It is a fiercely energetic, boastful landmark that brought rap music to unprecedented global heights.
