"The '90s were all about hip-hop groups. Brooklyn's Junior M.A.F.I.A., consisting of members Lil' Kim, Lil' Cease, Trife, Larceny, Nino Brown, Chico Del Vec, MC Klepto, Capone, and Bugsy, formed under the guidance of The Notorious B.I.G. after he released his classic debut album Ready To Die. At the end of the summer of 1995, Junior M.A.F.I.A. released their debut album Conspiracy on Big Beat Records featuring the lead single 'Player's Anthem' which featured Biggie and was produced by the late great DJ Clark Kent. Clark Kent produced three other songs including the second single 'I Need You Tonight' featuring Biggie's wife Faith Evans on the chorus. The third single, 'Get Money,' another Biggie feature produced by EZ Elpee with its classic flip of the Roy Ayers produced Sylvia Striplin track 'You Can't Turn Me Away' was certified platinum. With eight members deep, it was difficult to stand out, but Lil' Kim and Lil' Cease would be the breakout stars and go on to release solo albums. The group disbanded after Notorious B.I.G. was murdered in 1997, but left behind songs that still hold up today and remain a big part of Biggie's legacy, as well as producer DJ Clark Kent. Out of print on vinyl since 2017, Get On Down is proud to present this '90s hip-hop classic as a limited-edition reissue pressed on splatter colored vinyl and packaged in a gatefold jacket."
