Product description

"History Will Absolve Me" is a groundbreaking 2012 studio album by billy woods, a Zimbabwean-Jamaican rapper hailing from Brooklyn. This 18-track, 1-hour-3-minute journey through experimental and alternative hip-hop is a powerful confrontation of racism, delving deep into the past to face the brutal realities of slavery and its enduring transformations. Woods' lyrical prowess and the album's punchy, bass-heavy production make it a standout in the underground hip-hop scene. The packaging is as impressive as the music, adding to the overall experience. From the haunting "Crocodile Tears" to the introspective "Freedmen's Bureau," and the hard-hitting "Pompeii," each track offers a unique perspective, making this album a one-of-a-kind listening experience. "History Will Absolve Me" is not just an album; it's a bold statement that challenges listeners and sets a new standard for alternative East Coast hip-hop.

This is a 2022 Reissue released as a 2LP set.

Vinyl Packaging and Sound Quality
5 out of 5 stars

Arrived in a robust, thick sleeve. Inner sleeves lined with poly. Lovely gatefold featuring some bright and playful artwork. Jokes apart, the packaging for this vinyl is fantastic. The audio quality is superb too. Crisp and punchy, with ample bass. The records are perfectly straight, well-centered, and quite thick. Not many issues from my side. Highly recommended buy!

The packaging is super solid, with a thick sleeve and a poly lined inner sleeve. The gatefold is a nice touch, featuring some lighthearted and fun artwork. Honestly, the presentation of this record is fantastic. The audio quality is top-notch too, with a crisp and punchy sound that's rich in bass. The records themselves are perfectly straight, well-centered, and have a substantial thickness. I've got hardly any issues to report. Highly recommend picking this up!
