Lou Reed’s second solo album Transformer is an album that everyone should own

a truly original island rhythm

Bacharach with bats and balls

From the pulsing euphoria of “Love Cry” to the delicate drift of “She Just Likes to Fight

KRS-One - Return of Da Boom Bap afro-rock Lou Reed’s second solo albumReturn of the Boom Bap is KRS One's first official solo album, originally released in the fall of 1993. The album is pure 90's Hip Hop filled with KRS One's trademark conscious raps and storytelling, accompanied by boom bap beats from the likes of DJ Premier, Showbiz, and Kid Capri. The album kicks off with a Preemo trademark intro leading into "Outta Here", a tale about coming up in the 80s with a message to emcees about staying true to their roots.
