Description
BLACK DOUBLE VINYL
This special edition 2XLP is presented in an alternate cover, gatefold jacket with a six-panel insert that contains full album liners, song lyrics, and a foreword by Bobbito García a.ka. Kool Bob Love
Originally released as a nine-track LP on Bobbito Garcia’s legendary Fondle 'Em Records in 1996, the Juggaknots’ debut made a massive impact and it remains one of the most revered and groundbreaking releases of the ‘90s independent hip-hop scene. Ahead of their time, the sibling trio of Breeze Brewin, Queen Herawin, and Buddy Slim deftly combine their knack for braggadocio, humor, and social commentary with thick, low-end heavy beats for their inaugural effort. It’s an album that helped lay the bedrock for what would become the alternative hip-hop subgenre that thrives today.
