Sleeve VG; Vinyl VG+. Lords of the Underground’s second album, Keepers of the Funk, hits with boom-bap grit and soulful swagger. Produced largely by Marley Marl and K‑Def—with the group self-producing several tracks—it features the smooth, sample-rich beats of “What I’m After” (sampling Redman + Trouble Funk), the P‑Funk homage on the title track (featuring George Clinton), and head-nodding bangers like “Tic Toc” (a Doug E. Fresh & Slick Rick sample staple).

An absolute banger from start to finish, this original 1994 pressing has a bit of wear to the sleeve edges whilst the vinyl is in great condition.
