Street Level (CD)

EU IMPORT - COMPACT DISC The self-titled record, The Beatnuts, or more affectionately referred to as Street Level, is the full-length debut album by the Queens trio of Juju, Psycho Les, and Fashion. It was released in 1994, just a year after their impressive debut EP, Intoxicated Demons, had turned the hip-hop world on its ear. The cutting-edge production is supplied by Juju and Psycho Les themselves, with contributions from V.I.C. and Lucien (A Tribe Called Quest). The album features guest appearances by Grand Puba (Brand Nubian), Miss Jones, and DJ Sinister (The X-Ecutioners), amongst others. The Beatnuts garnered commercial success, charting on the Billboard 200 and boasting two singles, “Props Over Here” and “Hit Me with That”. It is known for its diverse production, hedonistic lyrics, and cover art inspired by Hank Mobley’s The Turnaround. It marks the last Beatnuts album before emcee (Kool Ass) Fashion left the group to pursue a solo career under the Muslim inspired alias Al Tariq. Second Records, as part of their Producer Plug series, is reissuing the album on Vinyl, CD, and Cassette with two new bonus tracks.  Tracklist 1 Intro 2 Ya Don't Stop 3 Props Over Here 4 Hellraiser 5 Are You Ready 6 Superbad 7 Straight Jacket 8 Let Off a Couple 9 Rik's Joint 10 Fried Chicken 11 Yeah You Get Props 12 Get Funky 13 Hit Me with That 14 2-3 Break 15 Lick the Pussy 16 Sandwiches 17 Psycho Dwarf 18 Hellraiser (Original Version) -Bonus Track  19 Dawn of the Dead - Bonus Track
