Big Pun's debut full - length album is back on double vinyl! Everyone knows Pun could make a party track, but he was also one of the few truly gifted lyricists in the rap world. Just listen to the line 'Dead in the middle of little italy, little did we know that we riddled two middle men who didn't know diddley' from 'Twinz'. He and Fat Joe set the 'Deep Cover' beat on fire. While hits like 'I'm Not A Player' are well - known, the album is full of tracks that show off Pun's amazing lyrical skills. It also features many New York rap contemporaries on mic and beat, such as Prodigy of Mobb Deep, Busta Rhymes, Black Thought, RZA, Ju - Ju of the Beatnuts, Noreaga and more. This 25th anniversary edition comes as a split colored double vinyl pressing, housed in a gatefold jacket with an individually numbered obi strip. It's a limited edition of only 2000 copies. The original release was in 1998, and it's now re - released by Get On Down in 2023. Reviewed by Von Bee in 08/2015.




Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your turntable and let the music play. Make sure your turntable is in good working condition for the best sound quality. When handling the vinyl, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After each use, store it back in its gatefold jacket to protect it from dust and damage. Since it's a limited - edition item, keep it in a cool, dry place to maintain its value. Don't expose it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can warp the vinyl and affect the sound.
