Inc. Masta Ace Sittin' On Chrome

The follow up to Slaughtahouse, Sittin’ on Chrome spawned three top 100 hit singles, “Born to Roll,” which went top 25 the previous year and is included here, and both “The I.N.C. Ride,” and “Sittin’ on Chrome.” Sonically, the album represents some of the best production elements of mid-90’s East Coast Hip-Hop, including darker, heavier passages with angular hooks and combines those with laidback, funky synth lines and a conceit about a “wild cousin from the West” that sets the listener up for a seamless blend of two competing sensibilities – a rare feat at the height of the mid-90’s Gangsta Rap popularity. This is The I.N.C.’s best-selling record and it’s easy to see why – it’s an engrossing, vivid trip through Ace’s neighborhood that stands the test of time as one of the all-time great albums of Hip Hop’s golden era. This 2LP reissue features vinyl cut under the supervision of Dave Cooley (J Dilla, Madlib) at Elysian Masters, pressed at Memphis Record Pressing, and housed in a gatefold package.
