Record Store Day 2024 Release.
This is the first time Edutainment has seen an LP release since 1990, an opaque black and canary yellow pressing on double vinyl for Record Store Day 2024.
The fourth studio album by the legendary Boogie Down Productions. Originally released in 1990, this album features production from D-Nice as well as KRS-One himself. KRS’ unmatched lyricism comes correct over hard boom-bap beats as he touches on topics that include materialism, racism, police corruption and violence and more. So it’s fitting that many of the skits--billed here as “exhibits”--feature civil rights pioneer Kwame Ture (previously known as Stokely Carmichael) so as to complement the conscious lyricism of KRS-ONE.
The release went on to be certified Gold within months.
