2023 repress. "'Shook Ones Part II' might be one of the biggest records to come out of New York in the mid 90's. From the moment you hear the bare hi-hat and the infamous line 'to all the killers and the hundred dollar billas' it is an immediate adrenaline rush. The beat alone is a work of art, Havoc constructed what would go on for years as 'how did he actually come up with that beat?!' amongst DJ's and Producers alike. The infectious piano, cinematic sirens, it was no doubt that it was one of (famed New York nightclub) The Tunnel's most signature records. As Cipha Sounds put it - 'How could it not rip in The Tunnel? Just classic. "Shook Ones Part I" was actually pretty big in the Tunnel, but "Part II" ripped everything.' When 'Shook Ones Part II' came you couldn't help but nod your head and get lost in Havoc and Prodigy trading verses breaking down the meaning of a crook... making you shook son."
