The hardcore essence of East Coast hip hop.
The heavy beat and sharp lyrics pierce through you.
This solo work by PMD, also known as a member of EPMD, showcases the hard-hitting sound of mid-1990s New York hip-hop. The cleverness of sampling and a flow that's full of groove perfectly capture the reality of the streets. He's been praised for being a bridge between the underground scene and the mainstream.
