Gang Starr – Step In The Arena

Description

Hip Hop’s 50th Anniversary Edition, Limited Indie Exclusive

Step in the Arena is the second studio album by hip hop duo Gang Starr, commercially released on January 15, 1991. Reflecting the combination of inner-city upbringing and college education which both members share, Gang Starr manages to attain the perfect balance of intellect and street credibility; harder than so-called hard-core, more experimental than “experimental hip-hop” and funkier than 99.9 percent of mainstream rap’s party jam output.
