On This Day: Gang Starr – Step In The Arena
A recurring trip down memory lane with The Find
On this day, 23 years ago, the legendary Gang Starr released their second LP, Step In The Arena. After the release of their debut album No More Mr. Nice Guy back in 1989, Gang Starr released Step In The Arena two years later full of phat jazz samples, their next step of building a legacy in the world of jazz-influenced hip hop.
Step In The Arena, entirely produced by Premo, is a true hip hop gem with classic material like “Just To Get A Rep” and “Who’s Gonna Take The Weight.” Take a trip down memory lane with the title track, and watch rare footage from 1990 of Guru (R.I.P.) and DJ Premier discussing their second album.
