In the early 1990s gangsta rap was becoming more popular. KRS-One took to the mic and continued to write socially conscious raps resulting in the hard-hitting 1992 album Sex and Violence which would be the fifth and final studio album under the Boogie Down Productions name. Produced by KRS-One, Pal Joey, Kenny Parker, D-Square, and Prince Paul, the album explores the darkest sides of the American urban landscape and psyche, with KRS as narrator, detailing all sides of the matrix. While singles like the alarming drum-driven Duck Down and the funky-as-hell We In There got most of the attention in 92, the deeper sequence reveals plenty of additional gems: the history lesson of the dark and dusty Drug Dealer ; Ruff Ruff , with scowling MC favorite Freddie Foxxx (aka Bumpy Knuckles); the grooving Questions and Answers, and the frantic record industry track How Not To Get Jerked.  

The album kicks off with an intro skit featuring KRS-One as a DJ in panic needing vinyl which at the time was a dying format while cassettes and CDs became the dominant format. Thirty-two years later vinyl DJs and Hip-Hop vinyl collectors no longer need to panic. Get On Down in partnership with Sony Music s CERTIFIED is proud to bring back to vinyl this underrated gem in the BDP catalog. Featuring one of the dopest album covers by American artist Robert Williams, Sex and Violence is pressed on splatter-colored vinyl, packaged in a gatefold jacket with full lyrics and a numbered OBI limited to 500 copies.
