The album was produced entirely by DR Period, except for track \"Guns N' Roses\" (produced by Silver D), and it solidified what has become a successful 30 year career for M.O.P. Fame and Danze haven’t wavered from their grimy, crimey, high-energy boom bap style to this day, and the songs on this album established that fact early on. Tracks like \"Rugged Neva Smoove\", “Blue Steel”, “Guns N’ Roses”, and the robbery-story driven \"Heistmasters\" are early indicators of the ruckus they would later bring on anthems like “Stick To Ya Gunz” and “Ante Up”. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Select Records","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50457242796363,"sku":"1170525","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/9bac046a-2e6f-45fc-bb9c-4c06f8121ef8_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727204095"},{"product_id":"hazardous-nsdb7u","title":"Hazardous","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHazardous\u003c\/i\u003e is the debut album of New York independent MC and producer Godfather Don, and was originally released in 1991 on Select Records.

The duo’s work eventually earned legendary status among those lucky enough to get their hands on it. When the compilation of calls was finally officially released via Select Records, who were mostly known for their hip-hop acts ranging from Kid n Play to AMG, it reached #1 on Billboard's Heatseekers list by amazingly bumping Radiohead's Pablo Honey, which coincidentally took its title from a Jerky Boys sketch, out of the top spot. What followed was a few more platinum albums, a hilarious movie, and a legion of lifetime fans that can repeat these prank calls verbatim, even 30 years later. The Jerky Boys created a true movement and inspired an entire generation of improvisational prank-style comedians.

For a certain generation of hip hop fans, just the mention of Kid ‘n Play brings on a wave of nostalgia. The group released three full-lengths between 1988 and 1991 with a focus on positive lyrics and pop friendly production. The success of the group’s music lead to countless House Party films, a Saturday morning cartoon show and even a series of comic books for Marvel (so, technically speaking, are Kid ‘n Play are part of the Marvel Universe?). It all started here on the 1988 full-length 2 Hype which features “Do The Kid 'n Play Kick Step”, the musical accompaniment to their trademark dance, “Rollin’ With Kid ‘n Play” which hit number 11 on the Billboard R\u0026amp;B Singles chart and of course Kid's now classic hi-top fade haircut, which measured up to over six inches high at its peak. Producer Hurby “Luv Bug” Azor, instrumental in the success of Salt-N-Pepa, was certainly a factor and the full length went on to chart in the Billboard Top 200 and to RIAA certified gold status.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracks: Side 1.
