"Flint, Michigan-based rapped MC Breed and his crew DFC (Da Funk Clan aka Dope Flint Connection) put the Midwest on the map in 1991 with the release of their self-titled debut album, an underrated gem of the early '90s. The lead single, 'Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin'' with a boomin' west coast sound would get radio play across the country and video rotation on YO! MTV Raps, BET's Rap City, and Ralph McDaniels' Video Music Box. The album's second single 'Just Kickin' It' with MC Breed's laid-back vocal style over a funky groove landed in the top 10 on the Hot Rap Singles Chart. Tracks like 'Underground Slang' have an '80s electro vibe and 'Better Terms' has Breed rapping a little faster over a Bomb Squad influenced beat with his DJ on the cut. MC Breed would go on to release another 11 albums and collaborated with artists such as 2Pac on 'Gotta Get Mine' and Too $hortÃs 'Gettin It' as well as features with Slum Village, Pimp C, Kurupt, Erick Sermon, and The D.O.C. among others. Breed passed away in 2008 from kidney failure, but his legacy lives on having influenced other Midwest artists including Eminem, Proof, D12, Common, and Slum Village. Out of print on vinyl since 2018, Get On Down is bringing back this Midwest 90s classic on limited edition colored vinyl. Pressed on pink acid wash color vinyl. Limited to 1000 copies."
