Crucial Boogie Down Productions
The Don's selections cross time, space and genre. This week's Crucial Vinyl is By All Means Necessary, released by Boogie Down Productions in 1988.
The Don's selections cross time, space and genre. Each week, as well as blending his favourite new music with classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica, Africa and way beyond, he highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection. This week it's By All Means Necessary, Boogie Down Productions' second album, released in 1988.
Don says, "The murder of original member Scott La Rock prompted this more socially conscious effort from group leader KRS-One. The album's artwork and title referenced Malcolm X and heralded the dawn of a more politicised form of hip hop earning KRS-One the title of 'teacher'".
