Raw Breed - Carlito’s Way featuring SLJ (1996) explicit

Discogs: Raw Breed, a hip-hop group from the early ’90s, is known for their influential album “Lune Tunz.“ Members Alexander The Great, Marc Rippin’, Nick Swift, Raaddrr-Van, DJ Solo Flxx, and Sam Swing crafted a sound that resonated with the era’s distinctive Timbo and “Muggs-style“ beats, deeply embedded in the gritty New York scene. Despite being a one-hit wonder, their music reflected the period’s shouty chorus rap and was part of a wave including EPMD, Das Efx, and a young Mobb Deep. Their second album, “Killa Instinct,“ set for release on August 24, 1996, became infamous as it was banned due to its alleged violent content and harsh lyrics. With Warner Music concerned about its potential impact in the wake of Ice-T’s controversial “Cop Killer,“ the album was shelved, leaving fans to wonder about what could have been a pivotal moment for the group. However, the album’s rawness and anticipated release have kept fans intrigued, cementing Raw Breed’s place in hip-hop history as an emblem of the unyielding spirit of the ’90s rap scene.
