10. New KingdomParadise Don’t Come Cheap
I got into this album through some friends who were really into more of the weird side of hip-hop. That was the cool thing at that time, in the late-90s. I had a few friends who always seemed to like the crazier, underground side of it rather than the mainstream of hip-hop. And then someone gave me this record and I loved it. But I have to say that I don’t know much about the band. I mean, it’s not one of those things where they got big enough where they had the following of someone like Dr. Octagon or Public Enemy. They were a bit of an obscure thing.

They’re almost like another band that I love, the Butthole Surfers. For me they’re Butthole Surfers of hip-hop, super weird, psychedelic and again it’s such a cool record. This record was super cool at the time it came out and I listen to it all the time, still now so it had to go on my list.
