The record where Hammer actually raps his head off over some of the heaviest funk loops of the 80s.

Relentlessly confident and physically demanding energy rooted in regional pride.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The aggressive, rapid-fire delivery on Turn This Mutha Out that challenges the New York hip-hop establishment.
The deep, rolling bassline on That's What I Said that mimics the physical sensation of driving over the Golden Gate Bridge.
The relentless drum machine patterns on Feel My Power that bridge the gap between b-boy culture and pop accessibility.
