KMD – Bl_ck B_st_rds (Vinyl)
It has since had a couple of indie releases, years down the line, and has subsequently become something of a hip hop classic. Not to mention giving the world its first introduction to the legendary hip hop crusader (and hip hop's last true enigma), Zev Love X, aka MF Doom.
From listening to a youthful young spark such as Doom on this album, his production work rings true of what's to come in later years. Not to mention the Supervillain's love of samples from cartoons and films of yesteryear, his whimsical flows and a strong influence of superheroes pervades throughout this record.
Listening back to the album 21 years on, Bl-ck B-st-rds still sounds fresh, whilst remaining very much of its time. It sits very well amongst the pantheon of the golden era of hip hop between the late 80s and mid-90s. There's unabashed, youthful creativity, combined with lyrical waxes on how tough it is to grow up being young and black in America.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
