Originally released on limited, handmade cassette in early 1995, “Word of Mouth” captures the introspective, rough 4-track sound, and DIY aesthetic of early 90s independent hip-hop. Relying primarily on hand to hand circulation, bootlegs and mail order zines, it became a sought-after classic in underground rap circles around the globe.
Released for the first time on vinyl, these raw, energy-filled songs still stand out as a compelling and wholly original piece of Bay Area hip-hop.
