As I'm getting into middle age, I've been weeding out my vinyl collection. You might think Del, the energetic cousin of Ice Cube, would be the first to go, especially since these records can be bought with PayPal. But surprisingly, this LP remains one of my all - time favorite emcee records. The young Del, with a Sony boom box covered in Hiero stickers, was truly unique. The wordplay, rhyme schemes, and enthusiasm in each track are unmatched. This record is also an overlooked gem in West Coast production. Check out tracks like 'Catch A Bad One', 'Wrongplace', 'Wack Emcees', 'Don't Forget', and 'No More Worries'. My top pick is the proto - Quasimoto track 'Worldwide' featuring Unicron. For a long time, I thought Unicron was Del's protege, but it was just a filter effect. 'Boo Boo Heads', the proto - No Pigeons, is also a great one, rhyming 'Murda' with 'Word Up'. It's a great repress with the original double vinyl intact. Grab it now!

Using this vinyl is super easy. Just place it on your turntable and start the playback. Make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition for the best sound quality. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface. After each use, store it in its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If you notice any dust on the vinyl, use a soft, anti - static brush to gently clean it before playing. Enjoy the amazing music!
