Eyedea & Abilities
First Born - 20th Anniversary Edition
Micheal "Eyedea" Larsen and Gregory "DJ Abilities" Keltgen first met in the mid-90s and soon began a working relationship that would play a prominent role in the indie-rap movement of the time. The release of their debut album 'First Born' revealed their talents to be much more versatile and expansive than previously expected. The boastful arrogance and punchlines that had become synonymous with battling were notably scarce on the album, it was notably rich in ambition, ideas and humanity. 'First Born' came at the forefront of an exciting new era of underground hip-hop. In honor of its 20th anniversary, Rhymesayers repackaged and reproduced the long out-of-print vinyl LP and CD. Comes in a slipcase and features images of some of Eyedea's original handwritten lyrics.
