The hardcore Philly vets welcome back supporting lyricist Jus Allah on their sixth studio album.
A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE showcases Vinnie Paz’s trademark apocalyptic imagery combined with Jus’s juggernaut rap flow, top-notch boom-bap production from Stoupe, and DJ Kwestion’s strategically-placed cuts.
Stoupe’s interludes--laced with vocals samples from news reports, political speeches, and obscure Hollywood movies--enhance the mood of mounting menace and guest spots from Outerspace, Demoz, King Magnetic, Doap Nixon, and Block McCloud of Brooklyn Academy make A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE another relentlessly brutal hip-hop outing from Jedi Mind Tricks.
