KRS-One & Marley Marl – Return Of Da Boom Bap

Originally released on September 29, 1993, 'Return of the Boom Bap' is KRS-One's first official solo album. The album is pure '90s Hip-Hop filled with KRS-One's trademark conscious raps and storytelling with boom bap beats from the man himself, DJ Premier, Showbiz, and Kid Capri. The album kicks off with a Preemo trademark intro leading into 'Outta Here', a tale about coming up in the '80s with a message to emcees not staying true to their roots. Throughout the album KRS-One tackles corrupt police, fake emcees, religion and provides some comical relief on 'I Can't Wake Up' where he dreams about being a blunt passed around by a who's who of '90s emcees and Bill Clinton! The album was selected as one of The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums and received a 4 four mics rating in The Source in 1993.
