Before the pop crossover hits and stadium anthems, the Black Eyed Peas were celebrated as a fresh and soulful voice in hip-hop. Released in 1998, Behind The Front showcases the group at their most raw and organic, blending sampled melodies with live instrumentation to create what Rolling Stone described as "an organic mixture of sampled melodies and live instruments aimed at those of us seeking a little enlightenment with our well-oiled boogie."
Behind The Front stands as a testament to an era when the Black Eyed Peas were a respected force in conscious hip-hop, delivering what JazzTimes called "a musical hip-hop shot that rises beyond mere discussions of consciousness" that "sounds, well dope, with a live band accentuated by clever samples." Now pressed on bone colored vinyl and reissued in 2025 via Interscope Records, this release is a great way for longtime fans and newcomers alike to experience this beloved debut in a warm, analog format.
