Gang Starr – Hard to Earn | 2xLP (Explicit)

One of the greatest and most influential East Coast hip-hop albums ever recorded. Gang Starr's 1994 Chrysalis/EMI Records album Hard to Earn is a masterclass in boom-bap production and jazz-inflected hip-hop that finds DJ Premier at the peak of his craft and Guru delivering some of his most commanding and incisive performances — "Code of the Streets," "Mass Appeal," "DWYCK" (featuring Nice & Smooth), "Tonz 'O' Gunz," and "Blowin' Up the Spot" are standout tracks on the duo's fourth studio album, a record that is widely regarded as one of the defining hip-hop albums of the 1990s and a cornerstone of the golden age of East Coast rap. Pressed on two records. Explicit lyrics.
