'Return of the Boom Bap' is KRS-One's first official solo album, released in 1993. It peaked on the Billboard 200 charts at position 37. According to KRS-One the album has sold over 300,000 copies. Unlike the majority of the Boogie Down Productions LP's, KRS here takes a step back from the production duties and invites rising underground stars DJ Premier, Showbiz and Kid Capri to handle the beats in addition to his four contributions. The track 'P Is Still Free' appeared on the 'Menace to Society' Original Soundtrack labelled as a B.D.P. track. The track 'Black Cop' was originally released as a 12 inch single and a track for the CB4 movie soundtrack, thus also labelled as a B.D.P. track. The album was selected as one of The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums. The record was originally rated 4 mics in The Source in 1993. Also available on 180 gm vinyl: Boogie Down Productions - By All Means Necessary / Original Soundtrack - Menace II Society
