Black Sunday

Murky, sample-heavy production meeting high-pitched nasal flows. A dark, smoke-filled snapshot of 1993 Los Angeles that bridged the gap between rap and rock.

Find on Amazon

The dark, smoky soundtrack to a 1993 LA night that somehow made everyone love hip-hop.

A thick, paranoid haze of street-level aggression and psychedelic escapism.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring, high-pitched horse whinny sample that punctuates the beat of Insane in the Brain.
The transition from the heavy, lethargic bassline of I Wanna Get High into the aggressive percussion of the following tracks.
The cinematic, ominous bell tolling and slow-burn tension that defines the opening of Cock the Hammer.
