Return of the Boom Bap (Jive, 1993) by KRS-One

KRS-One's solo debut is a phenomenal release.  DJ Premier, one of Hip-Hop's greatest producers ever, handles the bulk of the project's production.   And my favorite cut on the album is not even one of the two singles, "Sound of Da Police" or "I Can't Wake Up."  The record that stands outs the most to me on this release is "Outta Here."  In my opinion, along with Jay-Z's "December 4th", they are two of the best autobiographical Hip-Hop records ever made.  I saw an interview with DJ Premier online from a few years ago where Premo hinted at doing a sequel to the album with Mr. Parker.  Hopefully, that's still in the works.
