Between Redman’s sharp flow and Methodman’s depth, all backed by productions from RZA and Eric Sermon, Blackout! sounds perfect and ushers in a new era for Big Apple Rap. On this double 180-gram vinyl reissue, you’ll find the hits “Blackout,” “4 seasons” with LL Cool J and Ja Rule, and “Run 4 Cover” with the enigmatic Ghostface Killah and Streetlife. The cream of New York lyricists as a duo?!! Nothing could be more effective in making this pairing one of the most iconic staples of 90s East Coast Hip Hop. Between the Wu Tang star and the protégé of the great Eric Sermon, Hip Hop found one of the most monstrous pairs in its history.
