A visionary and raw underground classic! The sophomore album 'Violent By Design' from Jedi Mind Tricks is truly fierce. It's one of the great underground hip - hop releases. Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind's production is top - notch. Using deep, obscure vocal snippets, moody string - laden passages, and various film scores, he creates atmospheric soundscapes, comparable to RZA's work on 36 Chambers. Emcees Vinnie Paz and Jus Allah rap with burning ferocity, delivering blistering and thought - provoking lyrics in a continuous flow. Standout tracks include 'Speech Cobras', 'I Against I', 'Sacrafice', 'Trinity', and 'Heavenly Divine'. The group blends esoteric sounds with dark lyricism and fluid delivery, intimidating without gangsta pretensions and creating menace with humor and clarity. This long - awaited re - release, with 20 tracks on clear vinyl, is limited to 500 copies and is remastered. Released by Babygrande in 2018, it's highly recommended for both fans and new listeners.
Using this vinyl record is simple. Just place it on a working turntable, gently drop the needle on the start of the groove, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on the surface. Keep the record in its sleeve when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, standing upright to prevent warping. If the record gets dirty, you can use a vinyl cleaning brush to gently clean the grooves. With proper care, this limited - edition vinyl will bring you great listening experiences for a long time.
