About the album

Organized Konfusion were always a lyricist's group, the kind of Queens duo other rappers studied closely. For their second album Pharoahe Monch and Prince Po went outside their own production for the first time, bringing in Buckwild and Rockwilder, both on their way to bigger things, and the mood turned darker to match the title.

The Source called the pair 'verbal contortionists,' and Spin later listed it among the 10 best albums nobody heard in '95. 'Stress,' 'Bring It On' and 'Black Sunday' show off the rhymes, and 'Let's Organize' and 'Keep It Koming' keep the heads nodding. It's long been a hard record to find on vinyl, which made it popular with collectors and less popular with their bank managers.
