Release Notes:



New York in the 1980's: Crack cocaine, Reaganomics, The Cold

War, The Iran-Contra scandal, U.S. Recession, Wall Street

greed and collapse, the explosion of graffiti and

break-dancing, the advancement of Hip Hop into the

consciousness of America. The decade was a nefarious era, the

city landscaped in political turmoil and economic crisis. But

out of this wreckage came the development of what had been

dismissed as a fad into a thriving industry called Hip Hop, a

creative juggernaut which went on to change the world.

Prodigy, Big Twins and Un Pacino were raised in this era. Born

in the late 70's, they grew up in a culture steeped in

controversy and contradiction. Each walked a path through the

rotted streets, by any means necessary. Violence, poverty,

drugs and indulgence were part and parcel. This project

harkens back to this epoch through the frontline survivors

themselves.



Likewise, the contributing producers draw exclusively from the

records that were garnered in that fundamentally diametric

period. Welcome to "Product of the 80s"



Prior to his current incarceration, Prodigy made a home at

Dirt Class Studios in Brooklyn. Often he arrived alone and

left alone. No entourage, no groupies, no crew. This left the

emphasis on Prodigy, the man and his words. Dirt Class became

his sanctuary where he could productively write and record

without distraction. The duo of Joey and Bravo (better known

as Sid Roams) hosted these sessions and provided the bulk of

the soundtrack. The chemistry was evident and the result was a

copious amount of new material from Prodigy. The result of

this effort is uncut and undiluted "Product of the 80s".





"They Want Me Dead (feat. Hard White)" is the hidden bonus track

@ the end of the cd....
