Mixerr Album Reviews #1,397

This is Michael Mixerr. I will review Raw Breed - Killa Instinct.

5-man crew from the Bronx, New York was set to release a 3rd album (well second if you don’t count the Lune Tunez album that got redistributed by MCA which WB redistributed also) in 1996 called Killa Instinct. But the album that was planned to be released on Warner Brothers Records never hit shelves in music stores or the public. Instead the album remained unreleased. Warner Brothers Records shelved the album due to its explicit content deemed too hardcore for the public. That was until 2017 when the album was released publicly for the first time ever on CD & LP on the label Dust & Dope Recordings.

The liner notes of Raw Breed - Killa Instinct explain the history of the album. Included is a detailed article about how their follow up effort was censored. The article inside the liner notes explain clearly that the follow up effort was a censored retail release. Included is all the original artworks from the actual Killa Instinct album that was to be released in 1996.

Raw Breed - Killa Instinct was dubbed “the banned album within the hip hop community” due to the fact Warner Brothers Records shelved the album due to its explicit content deemed too hardcore for the public. It was the hardcore content, explicit nature, and phat ghetto rawness as to reasons why the album never saw light of day until now.

I rate this album, Killa Instinct, 5/5*****!
