Brand Nubian

Back in the early 1990s, Brand Nubian were at the forefront of the Afrocentric/Five Perecenter hip-hop scene. While latter-era LPs have been hit or miss, this five-song set compiles their most crucial singles. "Love Me Or Leave Me Alone" is quintessential romance rap, while "Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down" is a legendary roughneck anthem.
