Stress: The Extinction Agenda (New LP)

In an era where flexing original styles was mandatory to gain respect, few Hip Hop groups were more respected than Organized Konfusion. The Queens-based duo of Pharoahe Monch and Prince Po shined brightest on their 1994 sophomore LP “”Stress: The Extinction Agenda,”” which is receiving a reissue to mark it’s 30th Anniversary. Backed by dark, bass-heavy, and jazzy production, “”Stress”” showcased Pharoahe and Po’s dynamic and ever-shifting rhyme styles and electric chemistry from start to finish, creating an album that is an undisputed classic among hardcore Hip Hop fans. The deluxe triple-vinyl includes full album instrumentals, non-album bonus tracks-including the rare Buckwild remix of “”Bring it On””-plus a stunning tri-fold gatefold jacket featuring contemporaneous liner notes by Jeff Chang (originally published in 1994) and newly unearthed archival photos from B+.
