Killarmy

Tied with CNN's The War Report as the most hardcore album of 1997, Killarmy's sizzling debut redefined the term "rugged." Down with the Wu without biting their style, five emcees tear the mic to shreds over insane production from the vastly under-rated 4th Disciple. Crazy samples and over-the-top military assault lyrics make this a classic album start to finish.
