Released in 2002 on MCA Records, Blazing Arrow stands as a landmark achievement in hip-hop from the Sacramento duo Blackalicious — rapper Gift of Gab and DJ/producer Chief Xcel. The album brings together an extraordinary roster of collaborators, including Zack De La Rocha, Ben Harper, Gil Scott-Heron, Saul Williams, and Cut Chemist, recorded across studios in Sacramento, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Philadelphia.
This pressing showcases the album's rich, sample-driven production — drawing from sources as varied as Harry Nilsson and De La Soul — mastered at the legendary Sterling Sound in New York and mixed at iconic facilities including Electric Lady Studios. For collectors, this black and yellow swirl color vinyl edition is a visually striking way to own one of hip-hop's most celebrated and ambitious double albums.
