Debut release from the Rap/Pop crossover artist who was originally responsible for the initial success of labelmate Tone Loc. Once he had achieved success through Loc's hit singles, Young MC stepped out on his own, creating one of the catchiest, radio-friendly Rap singles ever: 'Bust A Move'. While he was soon overtaken by the next generation of Rap stars, the album is a wonder to behold and is still as infectious as it was when originally released in 1989...

Second solo release from Rancid singer/guitar-slinger Lars Frederiksen, backed by his band the Bastards, is stuffed to the gills with in-your-face punk attitude. Jackhammer drums, half-chanted/half-shouted vocals, and power chords ripped off like automatic gunfire all do their best to keep the punk flame burning. The lyrical subject matter never waxes too philosophical, as Frederiksen's themes are primarily limited to weapons, fighting, murder, and, now and then, the fairer sex...

Singer-song writer Dr. Frank became frustrated with the fact that all of the songs he had written for the Mr. T Experience's stellar album "Revenge is Sweet and So Are You" came out sounding essentially the same and opted to use a solo album as his chance to diversify his sound. He has truely succeeded on every level...

Three of the songs hail from the demo recording that landed the group their recording deal, while four others were recorded specifically for the project. All of them offer engaging, funky fun...
