"The Coup's second album, 1994's Genocide & Juice, was an emboldened level-up from their first full length. While early Coup material had moments that blossomed on later efforts, Genocide & Juice was where those ideas deepened, becoming more pronounced as their catalog grew. Production wise, it's replete with colorful samples, thorough skits and big bass, a perfect intersection of '90s sample-based ingenuity and West Coast funk. Genocide & Juice is mainly two things: neighborhood tales and unapologetic worldviews bound with fisted activism -- made by the group's core members at the time -- Riley, Pam the Funkstress and E-Roc. But there are voices and sound effects woven throughout that give it more texture. Killer production that was able to sound both clearly professional while retaining its edge. At a concise 14 tracks, this album is one of the best sophomore efforts by any group, in any genre. First ever 2LP release of the Coup's bitingly satirical sophomore album. Lacquers cut by Cicely Balston, Alchemy Mastering at AIR. Pressed on exclusive 2LP orange galaxy vinyl. Listening notes booklet by David Ma."

"Not many groups have spanned the eras from early-90's Afrocentricity to 21st century raptivism as do Boots Riley and Pam the Funkstress, aka The Coup. Party Music is the debut full-length release on 75Ark by this politically charged rap group."
