MF Grimm – The Downfall of Ibliys: A Ghetto Opera

Grimm

Sorry I’m not bootleggin’ Grimms album, but I wanted to say this is one of my favorite hip-hop albums ever, while it may be imperfect to some, I thik it’s a flawless. In 2010 it’s a very difficult CD to come by but guess what! It’s been reprinted/reissued!!! Sadly its only the CD annd a vinyl hasnt been re-issued but we can always cross our fingers. Pick up this underground classic HERE. Oh and for those who are noobs to MF Grimm, here’s some background

MF Grimm (aka Percy Carey, GM Grimm and Superstar Jet Jaquar) first turned up on KMD’s “What a Nigga Know (Remix)” on Elektra in 1994, and followed that with features on Kool G Rap’s 4,5,6 album on Sony in 1995 and MF Doom’s Operation Doomsday on Subverse in 1999, along with and a number of indie releases, before self-releasing his debut entitled The Downfall of Ibliys: A Ghetto Opera in 2002. Backed by an A-list of backpack producers: Cas (Readyrock), DJ Eli (Fat Beats), DJ Rob (Ground Original), MF DOOM (Metalface), J-Zone (Old Maid), Count Bass D and others.

Reportedly recorded in a 24-hour period while out on bail for drug charges, this full length stands up solidly against other releases of the day, Company Flow, Juggaknots, anything on Fondle ‘Em, X-Ecutioners, all that New York backpack boom-bap that gave a post Public Enemy nation of millions something to bump. Originally released on Day By Day Entertainment and out of print for years, this is the official reissue.
