Step In The Arena
Gang Starr

"The DJ's name is Premier, and I'm the Guru..." This is intricate, smart and tightly produced hip hop. From the immaculate flow of Guru to Premier's subtle, funky beats, it's a great early 90s rap record. No interludes and a runtime well under an hour? I'm tempted to add a point just for that. Best tracks: Step In The Arena, Check The Technique, Take A Rest, Just To Get A Rep
