Gang Starr’s sophomore album, 1991’s Step In The Arena that reached
classic status upon release, is reissued on 2LP 180 gram black vinyl.
MC
Guru and DJ Premier were one of the most influential MC-and-DJ
tag-teams of 90s hip-hop despite being overshadowed by other ensembles
who experienced crossover success. Even with their underdog status, Gang
Starr laid the blueprint for grassroots hip-hop and stayed true to
their mission of being “dedicated ministers of underground sound”.
Originally
released on 15 January 1991, Step In The Arena took the template set by
No More Mr Nice Guy and perfected it. At a time when gangster rap was
ruling the airwaves, Gang Starr’s lyrical prowess and hard-hitting
truths somehow felt even more cutting.
