long shot, but i'm after the insert for this one. please shoot me a message if ya have one!
Also after the cover for this, DM me if you've one to sell!- After a cover if anyone is selling one! ! !
no one is mentioning how Hi Tek helped this project to reach his acclamation and dopeness
One of the best Hip-Hop records of all time. Best release and not comparable to any other repress!
Can confirm this vinyl sounds fantastic. The album goes hard, but this is a very nice pressing, the bass sounds amazing and all the tones are very clear- this sounds amazing. incredible sound quality, lucky to have stumbled upon this at a record store
